British musician Natasha Bedingfield took the stage at NYC’s Cipriani South Street for the 5th annual UNITAS Gala
UNITAS is an international organization dedicated to preventing human trafficking and supporting survivors. The organization began combating human trafficking in 2015 after its founder, Lubo Krstajic, learned of the plight of trafficking victims. In an effort to support, UNITAS began to forge partnerships with governments, NGO’s, and experts within the field to help develop collaborative solutions to fight against the issue of human trafficking. The event was hosted by Emmy award winning journalist and WABC-TV News Anchors Sade Baderinwa. The gala honored New York Police Department Lieutenant Amy Capogna from the Citywide Human Trafficking Squad and Yehudit Zicklin-Sidikman, Empowerment Self-Defense and Violence Prevention Social Entrepreneur. The evening also featured live performances by recording artists such as Cris Crab, and violist David Aaron Carpenter.
Bedingfield performed four songs including a cover of the late Prince’s classic “Purple Rain”, “Unwritten”, “These Words”, and “Pocketful of Sunshine”. A night of commemoration, was also a night of opulent outfits:
