Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
THIS YEAR THE MODEL ALLIANCE CREATED A FIRST-OF-ITS KIND UNEMPLOYMENT HANDBOOK TO ASSIST MODELS IN UNDERSTANDING THEIR UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE AND PANDEMIC UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE OPTIONS DURING COVID. WE ALSO ANSWERED THE QUESTIONS OF HUNDREDS OF WORKERS IN THAT APPLICATION PROCESS, AND LED A Q&A ON UI THAT HAS BEEN VIEWED ALMOST 900 TIMES. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH RESEARCHERS AT CORNELL UNIVERSITY, WE SURVEYED OVER 200 MODELS ON HOW COVID AFFECTED WORKERS IN THE FASHION INDUSTRY AND PUBLISHED A REPORT THAT WAS FEATURED IN THE NEW YORK TIMES. OUR ORGANIZATION CONNECTED MODELS WITH RESOURCES TO REPORT HUMAN TRAFFICKING SCAMS, AND TRAINED WORKER LEADERS TO PROVIDE SUPPORT AND EMPOWERMENT TO VICTIMS. WE ALSO ASSISTED MODELS IN RECOVERING OVER $15,000 IN STOLEN WAGES WITH THE HELP OF CITY AGENCIES. WE ADVOCATED FOR A LOOK-BACK WINDOW FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT SURVIVORS, IN JOINING OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO PUSH FOR THE ADULT SURVIVORS ACT. WE ADVOCATED FOR SUPPLY CHAIN REFORM AND AGAINST THE ENSLAVEMENT OF UYGHUR FASHION WORKERS IN CHINA. THE MODEL ALLIANCE ALSO CONTINUED NEGOTIATIONS AND PROTESTS IN OUR CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE MISTREATMENT OF MODELS AND EMPLOYEES AT VICTORIA'S SECRET, LEADING TO THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FORMER CEO. FINALLY, WE HOSTED PANEL DISCUSSIONS BETWEEN TOP ATTORNEYS AND CITY OFFICIALS ABOUT MISCLASSIFICATION, WAGE THEFT, AND ABUSE IN THE MODELING INDUSTRY, AND WE BROADENED PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE OF ABUSE AND EXPLOITATION IN THE FASHION INDUSTRY.$0$61,732
