wave trunk show
~ SOUTHWEST CAFE ~
Copps Hill Center, 109 Danbury Road, Ridgefield CT
Monday, December 13, 2010 5pm-7pm
Please join us this coming Monday and see our beautiful array of handmade Cambodian crafts - silk scarves, bags, wallets, tribal tapestries and more. A great way to do some Holiday shopping, enjoy free appetizers and know that your purchases aid Cambodian women and young girls who are victims of gender-based violence.
Our most recent news comes from Phnom Penh, Cambodia's capital where two young women working as 'beer girls' at a local bar were gang-raped by 9 men. They have both been taken to one of wave's safehouses in a neighboring province while most of the perpetrators remain free.
wave's Sanctuary From Violence safehouse project provides protection, medical assistance and shelter for these and other women and alerts them to their legal rights in redressing these crimes.
Thanks to Barbara Nevins at Southwest for hosting our get-together. Bring a friend - look forward to seeing you there!
