Vote for Kristen as teenage role model


The Twilight star has donated a pair of autographed shoes to an organization that fights against sex trafficking.
Kristen played a runaway prostitute in “Welcome to the Rileys” and has talked in interviews about how it managed to affect her.

“If you do a movie, especially this one — it’s not the easiest thing subject-matter-wise — it stuck with me,” she told MTV News.

Because of the impact the role had on her, Kristen has said that she hopes to set up a charitable organization to help women in a similar situation to her character.

The 20-year-old is reportedly planning to establish a network of halfway houses to offer support to victims of sex trafficking.
“That would be amazing,” she said. “Right now, it’s the thing I feel most connected to.
