Honoring activists who are making the last girl their first priority: Join us on Sep. 30 for The Last Girl Awards.

Mahatma Gandhi believed that in making any public decision, we should think deeply about how it affects the "last person" in society, centering those who are most vulnerable in all that we do.
Inspired by this vision, Apne Aap Women Worldwide — one of the most impactful, effective anti-trafficking organizations working globally — created "The Last Girl Awards" in recognition of those activists, artists and policymakers whose work uplifts the most vulnerable among us: those who are being bought and sold.
The 7th Annual Last Girl Awards will honor Academy Award-winning film producer Melissa Barton, Save Ukraine founder Mykola Kubela, Stop Trafficking US founder Catherine Wilson, and Voices and Faces Project founder Anne K. Ream. It will also celebrate the publication of "I Kick and I Fly," Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Ruchira Gupta's critically-praised debut novel about sex trafficking.

Sex trafficking is a global issue that is more local than many in America think. How can people of conscience with different backgrounds, ideologies, and even political persuasions come together to create a world where no one is bought, sold or exploited? And what does it mean to foster a truly survivor-driven anti-trafficking movement?
During "They Are Not For Sale," the Laura Bush Institute for Women's Health Conference, Reflection Ministries in Midland founder Lisa Bownds, Dreamcatcher Foundation founder Brenda-Myers Powell, and The Voices and Faces Project's own Anne K. Ream will come together to discuss these questions, while engaging an audience of health care providers, direct responders and community leaders in a respectful and deep dialogue about fostering an exploitation-free world.
See you in Texas!

Our stories are our power.
At The Voices and Faces Project we’re using them to create change. |
The Voices and Faces Project is an award-winning non-profit storytelling initiative created to bring the names, faces, and testimonies of survivors of gender-based violence to the attention of the public. Through our educational and advocacy trainings, survivor story archive and signature program, The Stories We Tell — an immersive, two-day testimonial writing workshop for those who have lived through or witnessed gender-based violence or other human rights violations — we seek to change minds, hearts, and public policies through the power of personal testimony. The Voices and Faces Project has been named one of America's Best Charities by the board of Independent Charities of America, and is a registered 501c3 organization.
