On this Fresno Friday, we are happy to highlight an amazing non-profit organization here in town! Made for Them is a clothing brand and organization that fights human trafficking while providing opportunities and support for survivors. Through their clothing, partnerships, and events, they are raising awareness and working to end modern day slavery!
We had the pleasure of partnering with Made for Them for their Fight with Fashion event just last week. This annual event is an evening of fashion, dance, education, and inspiration. Survivors of human trafficking share testimonies, and guests get a deeper understanding on how they can fight against trafficking in the Central Valley. It was really an honor to be part of the event this year. It is exciting to see so many people around the Valley come to learn more and support what Made for Them is doing daily. The performances were inspiring, the fashion was on point, and the stories of survivors brought hope for those coming out of trafficking. Keep scrolling below to see some photos from the evening!
Fight with Fashion is just one of the many events and services provided by Made for Them. Made for Them provides free counseling and case management for victims. They advocate to our government on behalf of those harmed by trafficking. They educate the community to spot the warning signs of traffickers and trafficking victims. (They can even come speak to your group personally!) They have worked with local law enforcement to identify areas of Fresno with high trafficking, and they visit these areas in person to start conversations of hope. They partner with other local organizations to ensure survivors have the support and tools they need to succeed. They know collaboration is essential to make a lasting impact. This organization is doing so much to prevent and stop trafficking, and help survivors succeed in their new freedom.
