Episode Synopsis
EPISODE 6: Being a Gem for Gems with Jordan Guildford | Providing HOPE after domestic Abuse.
I want to share with some shocking statistics, 7 out of 10 adult victims of criminal harassment were female, 8 out of 10 adult victims of intimate partner violence were female and 9 out of 10 adult victims of sexual violence were female according to the RCMP. The World Health Organization states that 1 in 3 women throughout the world will experience physical and/or sexual violence by a partner or sexual violence by a non partner. These statistics are shocking.
However my next guest is out to change that. Born in Nova Scotia and raised in poverty, she was determined to make a difference. At the age of 14, she along with her simblings wanted to do something special for their hard working mother. The small token of jewelry sparked her mission to empower women. What started off as a kind gesture turned into a movement that has been recognized around the world. Her organization is Gems for Gems started in 2015 with the mission to end the cycle of domestic abuse for women, and their children. Her efforts have not gone unnoticed as she was recognized in by the Canadian Business Chicks, Women of Influence in 2017, Recognized by the True Beauty Foundation for your community work in 2019. In the same year she was awarded by Avenue Magazine as top 40 under 40. She has changed the lives of over 1000 vulnerable women and continues to shine a light during some of the darkest hours in society. It’s an honour and priviledge to welcome the wonderful Ms. Jordan Guildford.
