Interesting initiative coming from The Blind Project called Biographe,  a new sustainable style brand that helps victims and survivors of the commercial sex trade in Southeast Asia.

They’re holding a design contest that runs until September 15, 2010.  You read stories of victims on their website, choose the story you want to represent, become their “biographer” by telling their story through design, and submit your entry. 

Winning designs will then be turned into t-shirts and sold, with profits being reinvested into the victims’ communities.  Check it out!
