The day also marks a call to action for accelerating women’s equality. Surcee and Jasmine Road are tapping into the vibrant community of Greenville’s local businesses and shoppers to benefit South Carolina’s first two-year residential program for adult women survivors of human trafficking, prostitution, and addiction.
