SIX women from York have been wearing dresses every day in December in a bid to raise awareness of people living in modern slavery. The group, from city church St Michael le Belfrey, committed to wearing dresses every day this month to raise money for anti-human trafficking charities, including International Justice Mission (IJM). They said they undertook the challenge after finding out that many products bought in the UK, including clothes, can have forced labour slavery in their supply chains. As a result, Rebecca Smith, Isabelle Flynn, Martine Somerville, Abigail Isherwood, Rachel Walters and Rachel Sterling decided to take on ‘Dressember’ - a fundraising initiative that challenges people to only wear dresses throughout December.
