Story of the Week: She Dances
She Dances is an amazing non-profit here in Birmingham that we have had the pleasure of working with over the last year. We designed their first t-shirt and in so doing, created their logo symbolizing freedom for children trapped in the sex trade.
Their Mission:
To provide healing, hope and a future to girls who have been victims of human trafficking.Through safe homes, raising awareness and the arts, we strive to create a movement of freedom.
Their Work:
There are over 27 million people in the world today who are held as slaves. There are at least 1.2 million children who are sold into slavery for the purposes of sexual exploitation each year. She Dances strives to create a movement of response to this injustice within artists, musicians, organizations, churches, and every breathing soul…
Hope in Honduras is a movement they have started in order to build a safe home for girls in Tegucigalpa, Honduras who have been victims of human trafficking. In order to raise funds to build the safe home, She Dances is hosting a benefit called Art brings Hope on September 25th at The Matt Jones Gallery. Please check out their site and consider being a part of this very worthy cause.
