Women’s Way leads Human Trafficking Campaign
Posted by on December 10, 2012
Women’s Way to begin human trafficking awareness campaign
January 2013 is Human Trafficking Awareness & Prevention Month and Women’s Way will be launching a new education awareness campaign around the issue affecting hundreds of women and girls in Philadelphia.
Starting in January, images will be hung from banner poles around City Hall and posted on SEPTA bus shelters across Center City. It will also distribute similar posters to local businesses in the city.
Women’s Way will also be collecting in-kind donations for victims of human trafficking. It will host a day of service in late January where volunteers are encouraged to join them to sort and pack the donated items for drop off at Dawn’s Place and the Salvation Army’s drop-in clinic for human trafficking victims located in Kensington.
Items to be collected include new undergarments, such as bras and underwear (A, B, and C cups; full-coverage underwear), coats, gloves, and scarves, warm socks, and shoes (sizes 6, 7, & 8; winter shoes preferred). It will also be collecting travel-sized toiletries.
Donated items can be dropped off to Women’s Way at 123 S. Broad St., Suite 1399 in
Philadelphia.
