GEMS is a wonderful organization based in NYC that helps young girls escape commercial sexual exploitation and trafficking. Their website contains many valuable resources and also information about their campaign, Girls Are Not For Sale. They also have a documentary, “Very Young Girls,” which you can get from Netflix or buy from the site. I have embedded the trailer below, as well as their PSA, which are important counterpoints to the Belle de Jour types and their admirers who claim that prostitution is a great form of feminist empowerment. I also think anyone out there who watches pornography or supports the “sex industry” in other ways should consider making a donation to this organization. By supporting the sex industry, even by downloading free porn, you are contributing to a culture where women and girls are de-humanized commodities and this, in turn, helps to create the conditions that make the horrific experiences seen in the videos below possible.
