The Knit Wits has been meeting for over 10 years. Recently, the knitters were working on booties for a new project in partnership with the Gendercide Awareness Project.

Ann Gaspari, a charter member Knit Wits, said at a recent meeting, that knitters were working on booties for a new project in partnership with the Gendercide Awareness Project, said Ann Gaspari, a charter member Knit Wit.
The Gendercide Awareness Project wants to do an art installation in our auditorium in October to start a discussion. Gendercide is the silent elimination of females, young and old, through sex-selective abortion, infanticide, gross neglect, and for older women, lack of access to food and shelter.  Today, there are 117 million women and girls missing in the world. Want more information? Read about it at their web link, below.

The number 117 million breaks down into 11,700 times 10,000. Our team is collecting 11,700 handmade pairs of baby booties from around the world, with each pair representing 10,000 missing women.
