Photos taken by disposable cameras over the course of 9 months by girls ages 12-20, who have been victims of commercial sexual exploitation and sex trafficking, will be on display at RUSH arts gallery in Chelsea.

We've worked long and hard to find these amazingly talented ladies a space to show their work, and would hate for you to miss this special evening! attached is a flier with all the necessary info. If you don't live here in new york city, but know people who do, please feel free to forward the invite!
