Watch Very Young Girls On Showtime
Filed under: GEMS, licious, Mentoring, Rachel Lloyd, Sexual Abuse, Sexual Trafficking, Showtime, The New Licious Author: LiciousIt's 1:53 am... Ive been working all day and Im exhausted. However, I couldn't go to sleep before sending out this very important e-mail.
I URGE you all to watch "Very Young Girls" on Showtime. It is a documentary about a woman named Rachel Lloyd and the program that she started called G.E.M.S. The program helps young women who have been victims of sexual trafficking, prostitution, & sexual exploitation. Here is a brief synopsis of what the movie entails:
"Very Young Girls is an expose of human trafficking that follows thirteen and fourteen year old American girls as they are seduced, abused, and sold on New York’s streets by pimps, and treated as adult criminals by police. The film follows the barely-adolescent girls in real time, using vérité and intimate interviews with them as they are first lured on to the streets and the dire events which follow. The film also uses startling footage shot by the brazen pimps themselves giving a rare glimpse into how the cycle of street life begins for many women. The film identifies hope for these girls in the organization GEMS (Girls Education and Mentoring Services), a recovery center founded and run by Rachel Lloyd, herself a survivor of sexual exploitation. She and her staff are heroic and relentless in their mission to help girls sent by the court or found on the street. Given a chance to piece their lives back together, some will succeed, but many will remain suspended on the edge of two different worlds consistently battling the force that will suck them back into the underground. Very Young Girls’ unprecedented access to girls and pimps will change the way law enforcement, the media, and society as a whole look at sexual exploitation, street prostitution and human trafficking that is happening right in our own backyard."
PLEASE visit their website, www.gems-girls.org/index.html, and find a way to help. I personally plan on donating money, wish list items thru Target, and finding a way to volunteer from California. I also plan on visiting their headquarters in April during my visit to New York. Do what you can to help. At the very least, please add the organization and the young women struggling to regain their lives to your daily prayer lists.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this e-mail.
Blessings to you all....
* Until Next Time, LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE NOW!!*
