Colleen Clark, a local cartoonist studying at the Columbus College of Art & Design in Ohio, posted on her Facebook page an illustration she did for Girls Educational and Mentoring Services (GEMS), an organization in New York that serves girls and young women who have experienced commercial sexual exploitation and domestic trafficking. "A little while ago, I watched the documentary 'Very Young Girls' that educated me and made me extremely passionate about this cause," Colleen wrote. The illustration was part of a class assignment for a non-profit group.
