Dressember is a collaborative movement leveraging fashion and creativity to restore dignity to all women, opposing the worldwide trafficking and exploitation of women. Last year Dressember had 1,233 registered participants in 32 countries across 6 continents who collectively raised over $165,000.

I group of teens in Longview, including Anastasia, took on the creative challenge of wearing a dress for the 31 days of December.  Last night, during the storm, a few teens, including Anastasia, decided to drop out of the challenge.  She sure loves her jeans today.

Anastasia might beef up her dress choices and try again next year.  Maybe next year she will actually officially register too.  Regardless, we can still donate to Dressember and International Justice Mission, a human rights organization that works to rescue victims of slavery, sexual exploitation, and other forms of violent oppression here:  https://support.dressemberfoundation.org/checkout/donation?eid=37240
