Kyla and Kristen are joined by Marissa Marx, the senior director of partnerships and programs with the Dressember foundation to discuss human trafficking*. Marissa is responsible for spearheading the Dressember Network, developing Dressember’s programs, and collaborating with ethical brand partners. Prior to joining Dressember, Marissa received her Masters in Human Rights and International Relations with a research focus on gender-based violence in conflict zones. Previously, Marissa worked in academic research and communications & fundraising positions within the non-profit sector. Topics: what is Dressember; what is human trafficking; who is affected; how variable and nuanced every situation is; what happens to survivors after leaving; what supports are needed to combat this issue; misconceptions; what you can do.
