On Sunday, June 8, 2025, Justice For Women International will host a private evening of purpose, art, and activism in Beverly Hills, uniting prominent leaders, entertainers, and humanitarians to stand against the global epidemic of violence and trafficking targeting women and children.
This invite-only benefit will be headlined by award-winning actress and comedian Tiffany Haddish, who has long used her voice and platform to advocate for justice and uplift underserved communities.
Hosted by Justice For Women International Board Chair and human rights advocate Daphna E. Ziman, the evening will feature a powerful performance by Models Against Sex Trafficking, a special musical appearance by Durga McBroom—the legendary vocalist from Pink Floyd, flying in from Italy—and remarks from global thought leaders committed to transformational change.
The Honorable Mayor Karen Bass will also attend the event, lending her voice and steadfast leadership to the cause. A lifelong champion for survivors of sex trafficking and foster youth, Mayor Bass brings a legacy of public service centered on equity, safety, and justice.
Set against the backdrop of a warm Beverly Hills evening, the event will take the form of a joyful garden gathering, inspired by childhood nostalgia and innocence—an intentional contrast to the seriousness of the cause.
Guests will enjoy whimsical touches such as churro carts, hot dogs, and pretzels, creating a playful, open-air setting that evokes the carefree spirit every child deserves, but that too many girls around the world are denied.
Proceeds from the evening will fund a transformative initiative in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where girls in one village have been trafficked for as little as a cup of rice. In partnership with Innovation: Africa, a nonprofit powered by Israeli solar technology and real-time data tracking, Justice For Women International will install a solar-powered water tower, bringing clean and sustainable water to the community.
The initiative extends beyond clean water. It includes agricultural development, irrigation systems, and hands-on training from experts to help the community achieve economic independence and food security.
These efforts are designed to eliminate the conditions that traffickers exploit and restore the dignity and power to the women and families of the region.
“Violence against girls is the cancer of the world,” said Daphna E. Ziman, Board Chair of Justice For Women International. “We must never forget that every victim is somebody’s daughter, sister, or friend.
These girls are not collateral, they are children. And when society turns a blind eye to their suffering, we permit the use of girls as weapons of war. This is not just a women’s issue, it’s a global emergency rooted in systemic violence and injustice, and it must be eradicated.”
According to the 2024 U.S. Department of State Trafficking in Persons Report, an estimated 27 million people are trafficked globally. Women and girls are disproportionately affected—particularly in regions grappling with poverty, conflict, and lack of resources. Justice For Women International’s work tackles these systemic drivers head-on.
The organization’s global mission is rooted in eradicating emotional, economic, and physical violence against women through advocacy, education, and strategic partnerships.
Its collaboration with Innovation: Africa—which has installed over 1,300 solar-powered water systems across Sub-Saharan Africa—ensures that this initiative in the DRC will have lasting, measurable impact.
