Empower Girls Stop Gender-based Violence
The Benefits of Fashion is a charitable
benefit set up by three senior students currently studying at the American
Embassy School, New Delhi.
The main objective of The
Benefits of Fashion is to raise funds and awareness for the NGO, New Generation with a focus on making a meaningful response to the tragic death of
Amanat, the woman who was subject to the recent Delhi gang-rape and who tragically
lost her life as result of the accompanying violent assault. We have teamed up
with the NGO New Generation which works with empowering women and girls and is looking for solutions to many pressing issues in India, which include
innovative projects in response to the latest tragedy.
The Benefits of Fashion is
currently developing a major fund raising event with a showcase of student
inspired and designed fashion pieces. We plan to conduct a large-scale fashion
parade, auction and sale to promote awareness among several sectors of Delhi's
community including the expatriate community.
The benefit would be held on the
16th of March at The Australian High Commission, New Delhi, India.
Your donation would help immensely. This event will cater to approximately 350
people including members of the expatriate community in New Delhi, many of whom
play a significant role in their respective embassies. The funds required to
run an event of this status is immense however, my colleagues and I would
greatly appreciate any help that you would be willing to offer. Again, this
fashion show was set up to achieve a task to not only advocate for change, but
also to play an active role in it. The financial assistance such an event could
generate for New Generation and for women and children victims would
be immediate and enduring.
