AAUW  has  made  a  commitment  not  only  to  bring  awareness  of   the  issue  of  Human  Trafficking  to  the  forefront  but  also  to  do  all  that  it   can  to  eliminate  this  horrendous  practice.   Our Branch lead by our member Marge Holcomb encourages all our members to become familiar with the efforts to eliminate human trafficking.

Our Branch has donated clothing and personal hygiene items to Dawn’s  Place  located   in  Philadelphia  which  provides a safe and secure residence for international and domestic  women who are trafficking victims.  Marge  Holcomb, our Branch  representative with the Delaware County Against Human Trafficking Coalition requested  gently  used  prom  gowns  or   very  dressy  type  dresses  for  girls  in  poor  areas.  The  center  she   volunteers  for  sells  these  dresses  very  reasonably  and  uses  the  proceeds   to  maintain  the  center.
