no boundaries clients can do what they want, and disrespect employees, no structure, no policies, no transparency.

GEMS is the most well organized, professional, ethical and therefore effective organization working in this field. The products they have developed are centered on continuing the success of the program and building strong foundations to both prevent the commercial sexual exploitation of girls and women and human trafficking.

GEMS is a role model to young women survivors of sexual exploitation, as well as to the public at large. The organization provides our society's most vulnerable and silenced young women with a safe place to heal, learn, and thrive. Meanwhile, GEMs offers the public the opportunity to step up to the issue of girls' sexual exploitation through its powerful films and awareness campaigns. GEMS exemplifies courage, perseverance, and transformation in a culture that condones getting rich off girls at the cost of girls' lives.

GEMS is providing an important and vital service to young girls who are survivors of sexual exploitation. I am so proud to support them! They have been extremely successful in changing legislation in New York State so that girls can get help rather than be treated like criminals by the law. They are fabulous!

I was subject to sexual assault a few years ago, and while my terror in no way compares to that of the girls GEMS is working to save, my experience makes GEMS work hit very close to home. Physical love is a precious thing, and it is being stolen from girls all around the world, and close to home, right now. GEMS is working to end that theft and return sexual ownership to all females. If that isn't a cause worth fighting for, and celebrating, I don't know what is! The GEMS organization deserves all the recognition and support that is available. With them, we can save lives, in more ways then one. Xo!

I have only been a member of this organization for a little bit but I can tell you this. I know of girls who have struggled with sexual exploitation and to know that there are people who care, people who have been through the same thing is most crucial for these young victims.There needs to be more of these organizations.
