Impact Pillars

Dressember resources prevention, advocacy, intervention, and survivor empowerment programs simultaneously. We address root causes and acknowledge changing systems.

Advocacy 

The Dressember movement is built on small, consistent actions and mobilizing normal people with extraordinary passion. Dressember advocacy is about mobilizing a community to demand change.

Prevention

Prevention in anti-trafficking involves addressing root causes and changing systems. We look upstream to acknowledge factors that make certain groups more vulnerable to trafficking.

Intervention

Intervention is often what people think of when they hear about anti-trafficking work. Intervention work involves working with local organizers to remove child victims of trafficking from exploitative situations, as well as providing support and exit pathways for trafficked adults. We rely on our local Network leaders to lead this initiative through culturally sensitive and appropriate methods.

Survivor Empowerment

We empower survivors’ sustained liberation through capacity-building initiatives to build long-term health and success. By centering survivors in our programs and partnering with organizations that prioritize lived experiences, we learn first-hand what survivors need to continue their healing journey.
