What's Freedom and Fashion?
FnF: Not For Sale
Not For Sale | Shadowhands from Not For Sale Campaign on Vimeo.
Not For Sale is a Campaign of students, artists, entrepreneurs, people of faith, athletes, law enforcement officers, politicians, social workers, skilled professionals, and all justice seekers united to fight the global slave trade and end human trafficking.
The Campaign aims to recruit, educate, and mobilize an international grassroots social movement that effectively combats human trafficking and slavery through "Smart Activism". It deploys innovative solutions for every individual to re-abolish slavery -- in their own backyards and across the globe.
Not For Sale believes that everyone has a skill to contribute that can free an individual living in bondage, and together we can stop human trafficking and end slavery in our lifetime.
27 Million People are enslaved today!!!
27 MILLION! It's a huge # !!
It's sad how we don't see it.
But on Not For Sale web site has a Slavery Map that you can check out the data of how many people are enslaved in your area!
We can change the world! Just believe in yourself!
Be apart of it!
Cheers,xoxo
Be Apart of it!
20 Century all is about US!
We have to be united and be an activist and spread the words!!!
FnF: MIM Made in Mongolia
Made in Mongolia Mongolia With typical winter temperatures dropping to below -30°C, lack of warm clothes, food, and means of heating and insulating dwellings become life threatening issues. Some 44% of the population living in gers – the Mongolian for yurt – are estimated to live on less than 20$ per month, with very limited access to safe water, sanitation and basic infrastructure services. Poor health, malnutrition, homelessness amongst adults and children, alcoholism and domestic violence are major problems caused by severe poverty. Many households are headed by women who are the poorest sector of the society. They struggle continuously to provide for their families, and prevent their children ending up on the streets or at the orphanage. Made in Mongolia, mim©, is an important part of this, with all profits from the initiative going to support the women involved in mim© and the wider community through Asral NGO’s social welfare activities. Made in Mongolia's work focuses on two areas: the ger district of Ulaanbaatar, the capital city and Ondershil, a remote settlement in the Gobi. In both cases there is little or no work either due to lack of skills or lack of employment opportunities. mim works to help empower mostly women, the poorest sector of society, providing them with an easily accessible and sustainable source of income. Mongolian women – and occasionally men – learn traditional felt-making as well as sewing and embroidery, and spinning and knitting techniques. This provides them with both invaluable skills and an immediate income from the products they produce. Many of the women are heads of households, the income they generate through handicrafts is essential in helping to sustain their families. Over 220 women have now been trained on the handicraft projects in Ulaanbaatar and Ondershil. Several of the women involved have mental illnesses; handicrafts are an occupation they both enjoy and their families have said they have found therapeutic. There are so many people in this world needed help. Sadly,our country encourages individuality and capitalism. I love fashion but I don't like the other-side that ignores environmental issues ,humanity and ethical practices. I wish I could change the world just like.. but I can't do it w/o you all ! Please spread the words! Come join us at Freedom and Fashion show on November the 6th,2010! See it yourself! Start from the beginning with me :) More info please check : http://www.madeinmongolia.net/index.html Cheers,xoxo
Made in Mongolia, mim©, is a new range of handcrafted felt products. Working in partnership with the ASRAL NGO,mim© is a fair trade and not-profit initiative that allows Mongolians to use local resources sustainably to improve their livelihoods while maintaining traditional skills. mim© aims to provide greater self sufficiency to mongolian women and their communities.
Irish Government Assist MIM©
In 2008, the Irish Government through Irish Aid, gave a grant of €192,000 towards the purchase and equiping of a building to house the MIM Project in Mongolia. This was supported by a donation from His Holiness the Dalai Lama
of $100,000. The building, in the centre of Ulaanbattar, houses the felting, washing, dyeing and drying facilities, as well as a staff kitchen and canteen, office and shop. There are training facilities for Asral sewing project. The new facility will enable MIM to eventually double it's capacity to provide employment.
Mongolia, a landlocked country located between China and Russia, is a nation trying to find its roots. Since the break up of the Soviet Union following 70 years of communism, this traditionally Buddhist country has experienced a difficult transition to democracy. There has been a sharp increase in poverty. Many families have relocated to the capital, Ulaanbaatar, in huge shanty areas. Unskilled, many are unable to find work; living conditions are cramped and unhygienic.
Asral NGOwas started to support families and children. The NGO’s main aim is continually to keep families together to stop the children from becoming street children and ensure they get an education. This is done by training people in skills and finding self-sustaining work for women, supporting children in their education, and direct assistance and outreach in the areas of health, food security, housing & heating, and clothing.
