Watch Rachel Lloyd's Senate Testimony

Rachel Lloyd is one of the most celebrated and powerful activists within the anti-trafficking community and is the founder of GEMS, an anti-trafficking organization and the only one in NY state that assists young girls and women who have been commercially exploited and domestically trafficked.

Click on the link below to watch Rachel and Shaquanna, a GEMS employee and former trafficking victim, testify before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Human Rights and the Law about human trafficking. This 20-minute video provides an amazing account of the nature of trafficking and how anti-trafficking services can help girls rebuild their lives from two very inspirational and powerful women.
