Girls Educational and Mentoring Services (GEMS)
Rachel Lloyd, Executive Director and Founder of Girls Educational and Mentoring Services (GEMS), started the organization 15 years ago with only $30.00 in her pocket. Today it is one of the top leading non-profit groups in the United States to help combat sex trafficking, especially in New York. Rachel is a survivor of international sex trafficking where she was held emotionally and physically by her trafficker until a divine opportunity helped her to break free. Rachel says she met a woman with a church in Germany and before long, she was ready to give her life to God. In doing so, Rachel says she was not only able to break away, but it gave her strength to start GEMS. The organization is based off many things she received during the break away process from her trafficker, but also is based on many other things she did not receive. Over the last 15 years, Rachel has accomplished a lot. She published a book called, “Girls Like Us,” co-produced a documentary about sex trafficking called, “Very Young Girls,” and a few years ago, she received one of the world’s most prestigious humanitarian awards through Reebok.
