Viewer discretion is advised:
This conversation discusses child sexual abuse and trafficking. It also displays learning material the NZ Ministry of Education promotes for young children (We are NOT endorsing this material, we are informing parents who may not be aware).

Gloria Masters is the founder of Handing The Shame Back Foundation, a charity dedicated to supporting adult survivors of child sexual abuse.

As a child Gloria survived 16 years of child sexual abuse, including trafficking. This abuse began with her family, and quickly spread to other groups and gangs. Three years ago, she felt healed enough to help others by publishing her memoir 'On Angels Wings', and establishing the charity.

Child sex trafficking has been occurring in society since time began. This issue is not new. It urgently needs to be brought out into the light to be dealt with, and for the children and adults affected to find a pathway to enable healing.

‘Most good people do nothing because they don’t know what to do.’ - Gloria Masters
