STELLA
FELLA
2015
NO TO EXPLOITATION OF WOMEN,
CHILDREN AND MEN AND NO TO
MODERN DAY SLAVERY AND HUMAN
TRAFFICKING.
What is
Stella Fella?
Stella Fella is about educating men and
boys about making better choices and
encouraging and recognising positive
male role models in our community.
Violence and exploitation against
women is a growing concern in local
communities and abroad. Human
trafficking is now the third largest criminal
activity behind arms and drugs.
Stella Fellas are the men in our
community who choose to stand up and
say “No”.
Stella Fella 2015 is set
to be our biggest year
...with the launch of our Stella Fella Cycle
Challenge in Cambodia (29th October –
9th November).
This year we have celebrity
ambassadors, Andrew Morley (Home
& Away), Nick Kenny (Former Brisbane
Bronco) and Scott Tweedie (The Loop),
joining our cycle challenge through
Cambodia with a team of up to 20 men,
raising funds, visiting our beneficiary
partner in Cambodia and learning
about modern day slavery and human
trafficking.
Stella Fella cycle challengers will be
meeting with the Australian Federal
Police, doing outreach in at-risk areas
and meeting women and girls who
are currently supported by PROJECT
FUTURES.
The 2015 Stella Fella campaign will follow
the journey of these men.
“No” to the exploitation of women and
children and “No” to modern day slavery
and human trafficking.
Stella Fellas are men who choose to live
with integrity and dignity, and is someone
who treats everyone with respect.
Who is PROJECT
FUTURES?
PROJECT FUTURES is an Australian
not for profit organisation dedicated

and human trafficking by raising

Merchandise
PROJECT FUTURES has teamed up
with Belmondo to produce the ultimate
silk bow tie for our Stella Fellas and their
supporters. You can match your bow tie
with a gentleman’s pocket-handkerchief
to finish your Stella Fella look.
$20 from every bow tie sold and $5 from
every handkerchief sold will go to our
beneficiary partners.
If bow ties and handkerchiefs aren’t
your thing, you can show your support
through buying a bow tie clip. Bow tie
clips are great for schools, universities
and workplaces to show support for the
Stella Fellas in our community.
Bow tie clips are made by a social
enterprise that employs survivors of sex
trafficking in Cambodia.
