Upcoming | Very Young Girls Film Screening | November 13 | Guest Speakers: Rachel Lloyd and Others |
|
The film takes us into the work of a former sexually exploited youth–turned–activist named Rachel Lloyd, who started the New York City organization GEMS (Girls Educational and Mentoring Services) to help young women who are victims of human trafficking escape their pimps and find another way of life. We meet teenaged girls at different stages of this transition. As we come to know these girls better, they emerge as well–rounded individuals full of unexpected laughter and insight. The screening will be followed by Q&A with Rachel Lloyd, Founder and Executive Director of GEMS, and speakers from local DC agencies working against sex trafficking. Watch the trailer E Street Theatre - 555 11th Street NW - Washington, DC 20004 | November 13, 2008 | 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM Tickets sold at the door | $10 adults & $8 students |
