 Advocacy
A Belle de Jour
girl is a woman of substance. She knows the
value of giving back and helping others.
A percentage of Belle de
Jour power planner proceeds goes to a selected
women-related charity of the Belle de Jour Team.
For 2007 and 2008: Our
chosen advocacy is Tahanan ni Sta. Lucia,
a crisis intervention center for 12-17 abandoned,
neglected, or sexually/physically-abused street
children.
Mission
To respond to the specific needs of
these children and most importantly,
to help them start the inner healing
process so that they can rebuild their
lives and live normally and productively
in the future.
Goal
The ultimate goal of the Center is to
rehabilitate, ensure and sustain the
reintegration of young street girls
below 18 years old, as well as girls
who have been sexually abused or prostituted,
with their families if still possible,
and to society in general
Objectives

To provide
the street girls and sexually abused
children with temporary and therapeutic
home atmosphere.

positive values and to enhance feelings
of self-respect and self esteem.
-
To protect
the street girls and sexually abused
girls from the dangers of the street
and/or their abusive environment.
