Helping Children Escape the Sex Trade
Rachel Lloyd, an escapee from the sex trade, wrote a book called Girls Like Us that tells about her experiences as a child sex worker. She is also the founder of a program in New York that helps children survive sexual exploitation: Girls Education and Mentoring Services (GEMS). Ms. Lloyd was recently a guest on the Diane Rehm Show discussing child exploitation. You can listen to that interview or read the show's transcript here.
