Global Hand Sign Campaign Launched
Gloria Masters and her partner Scott Beard have launched a powerful campaign to raise awareness of the Global Hand Sign for Under 16s, a silent cry for help used by children who are being sexually abused and not safe.
Drawing on decades of frontline experience, they are urging adults to learn the sign and protect our most vulnerable.
If want to be considered a #SafeAdult, please act.
If you see something: Then do something.
Global Hand Sign for Under 16s
When Gloria released the Global Hand Sign for Under 16s, she had no idea of where it would lead; it has become a global phenomenon with children around the globe using it. In one case in the US, a woman recognised a young girl using the sign, called police, and helped rescue her from trafficking.
For Gloria, who survived 16 years of child sex trafficking, this sign is a way to equip children in unsafe or abusive situations using a tool she never had.
“If I had that hand sign available to me when I was a kid, I would definitely have used it.” – Gloria Masters
Be the adult who notices — and knows what to do.
