Video: Fashion show dedicated to sex workers

Fashion designers organised a special show to create awareness against human trafficking, at the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week in New Delhi. The show was organised by the Fashion Design Council of India, in collaboration with a non-profit organisation, working towards the rescue and rehabilitation of women, who fall prey to human trafficking in India.

The show was inspired by a sex worker, who was rescued from the trap of human traffickers in New Delhi.

Tennis ace Leander Paes and Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi came out to support the cause.

The dresses exhibited at the fashion show were created by renowned designers like Manish Arora, Suneet Varma, JJ Valaya, Rajesh Pratap Singh, Tarun Tahiliani, Ashish Soni, Ritu Beri and Ashima-Leena, among others.
