Girls should be celebrated, not sold. I am joining this mission as an active member of the GemsGirls council to campaign for the rights of young ladies.
This campaign was launched in 2008, is led by survivors, and today there are 50K active supporters!
Girls Are Not for Sale is a national campaign with one goal: to inspire one million Americans to take easy, effective actions to nurture and empower American girls who have become victims of child sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation, and, to protect all girls from the dangers of trafficking. Inspired by the film critically-acclaimed Showtime film Very Young Girls and the survivors whose lives it chronicles, the Campaign brings the movement to protect and empower girls to cities across America through live events, grassroots action, ad campaigns, fundraising drives, film premieres, music recordings and much more. Together we can transform America into a nation where girls are celebrated, not sold.
You can get involved too!
