Fashion Show Raises Money for Craniofacial Defects, Brings Awareness About Human Trafficking
Fashion Show Raises Money for Craniofacial Defects, Brings Awareness About Human Trafficking
In Atlanta, during the SHINE Fashion Show designers
from Atlanta to Africa will come together on October
6 at the The Infinite Energy Center, 6400 Sugarloaf
Pkwy in Duluth, GA 30097 for an evening of fashion,
food and fun featuring an Afro-Indian themed fashion
show. Tickets are $25, registration is open at www.
lovewithoutreason.org under the Events tab.
The SHINE fashion show is an event that benefits the
Chattanooga-based nonprofit, Love Without Reason
(LWR). Love Without Reason is active in the fight
to end human trafficking, and serves three different
vulnerable populations. Children born with craniofacial
birth defects are at high risk for being sold into human
trafficking networks. Women rescued from the redlight
districts of Mumbai are at risk for revictimization
if they are not able to sustain themselves with a steady
income. The children of these women who are raised in
the brothels are at risk for continuing the cycle of slavery,
simply by living in the brothels.
Love Without Reason has partnered with hospitals in
Zimbabwe and in India to provide nearly 500 surgeries
for children and adults born with craniofacial birth
defects, such as cleft lip, cleft palate, ankylosis, or
micrognathia. These lives will never be the same again.
Yet, in Zimbabwe alone, there is a five-year backlog of children waiting for their surgery.
