At thirteen, Rachel Lloyd found herself spiraling into a life of abuse as a victim of commercial sexual exploitation. Lloyd was eventually able to escape, but as founder of GEMS (Girls Educational and Mentoring Services), a groundbreaking program for girls ages 12-21 who have experienced sexual exploitation and trafficking, Lloyd knows that her success story is an exception. By daring to share her story and those of many girls like her, she opens our eyes to the shocking realities of commercial exploitation of girls in America, reminding us that human trafficking is not only a Third World problem. |
