Background:
Today dives into part 3 of 4 ‘Very Young Girls.’ Created by Rachel Lloyd, a human trafficking survivor, founder of GEMS, and the author of Girls Like Us.
This is a heavy watch for mature audiences only, and I encourage anyone watching to watch with their own discretion. Although the show will be for mature audiences, feel free to take what you’ve learned and share it through discussion with others - young and old.
Action: Watch Part 3
Watch from the 46-minute mark to the 54-minute mark of Very Young Girls here for free.
If you’re following along with the full film, watch until the 1 hour 7 minutes mark.
Action: Talk it out
Consider the following discussion questions and talk through them with your family, friends, and advocate teams, and send your thoughts on social media: @rollerskatetoliberate.
Rachel starts this segment by talking about how the toughest time can be the “exiting period.” Have you thought about this struggle for survivors? How much more is involved in helping survivors than just removing them from their situation?
What do you make of Carolina’s phone call with her pimp? Soon afterward, Carolina says she ‘will only leave the life when she dies.’ Despite her improvement and involvement in GEMS, why do you think she has trouble fully leaving?
Action: Raise Awareness
