Panel Discussion
with Dani Henderson
Gloria joins a panel to discuss surviving sexual abuse and how to prevent this today.
Global Awareness Day
Speaking Out
On June 16 2023, Gloria released the hand signal for Under 16’s to use if they are being abused/not safe This has already been adopted and applied. One woman in the US observed a girl of about 11 using the signal and phoned the police, got some help and saved the girl who was being trafficked!
Gloria saw the signal as one way to equip children, should they be in a sexually abusive or a harmful situation. As she herself survived 16 years of child sex trafficking, she is passionate about this simple, yet powerful hand signal.
“I wish I’d had a hand signal when I was a kid, it just may have saved me” she says.
NB This signal originally stems from a women’s group in the US, advocating against domestic violence
My blogs are designed to offer some techniques to try, as you navigate your way through post traumatic stress.
You are never alone on this journey.
I stand with you.
