Become a Daughter

The Council of Daughters is the leading force in GEMS’ efforts to galvanize women across American to help strengthen laws that protect victims, encourage Americans to support girls empowerment initiatives at the local level, increase support for recovery services, and bring this urgent issue into schools, offices, dorms, places of worship and other community spaces.
