Last March 18th, Bella Diva Dance held a fundraiser activity to benefit Verifica program at Lannie’s Clocktower Cabaret. Verifica is a community-based program proven to stop human traffickers by creating awareness and recognition of tactics sex-trade recruiters use to lure, exploit, and ultimately kidnap teenagers in marginalized communities.
Traffickers prey on innocent teenagers from vulnerable communities. They often pose as recruiters with promises of employment in distant cities and then sell their victims into slavery in the sex-trade or forced labor. By combining awareness with special tactics, Verifica exposes traffickers before they can exploit the innocent without risk to the targeted teams or the community. Verifica is designed primarily for international communities as its systems counter the specific methods used by traffickers outside the United States, by targeting the ‘supply’ side of the sex-trade from and economic viewpoint.
  
PIER Institute is the exclusive licensing and certification agent for the Verifica program. Licensing fees are 100% tax-deductible in the US. Once implemented, there is no cost to sustain the program and Verifica is 100% administered and maintained by the communities it serves.
Verifica Fundraiser Dola Re Dola Performance
Here is a fragment of one of the presentations held that day. This fusion of Bollywood and Belly Dance performance is danced to the music of Dola Re Dola. This is a song from the Indian romantic drama film Devdas, from 2002. This song was a hit as the scene in the movie shows a unique dancing duet between two widely recognized actresses of the Bollywood era: Aishwayra Rai and Madhuri Dixit. The song is sung by Kavita Krishnamurthy, Shreya Ghoshal & K.K. Enjoy the video!
