Kwanza Jones is raising awareness for GEMS one step at a time!


Los Angeles based Kwanza Jones is one of the latest artists to help bring awareness to the issue of child sex trafficking, others already involved include BeyoncĂ© Knowles, Halle Berry, Demi Moore, Sinead O’Connor and Mary J Blige. Last month O’Connor and Blige recorded a remake of O’Connor’s prolific song “This is to Mother You” in order to bring awareness to this inhumane crisis. Singer and songwriter Kwanza Jones joined an all-star lineup including Daisy Fuentes to participate in the music video and public service announcement.

‘Girls Are Not for Sale’ is a national initiative from GEMS (Girls Educational and Mentoring Services), an anti-sex trafficking organization. The campaign aims to inspire the American public to take easy, effective actions to nurture and empower American girls who have been kidnapped and/or lured into the sex industry. This mission is to protect every girl from the dangers of commercial sexual exploitation. GEMS is using e-activism, live events, all-star artist collaborations and other initiatives to promote girl empowerment and education as a critical tool in the fight against child traffickers and pimps who victimize between 100,000 and 300,000 American children and teens each year.
