Global Hand Sign
for Under 16’s
The Global Hand Sign is a silent cry for help — a 3-step gesture that children around the world are using to signal they are being sexually abused and are not safe.
1️⃣ Open palm
2️⃣ Place thumb across palm

Learn it. Share it. Teach it.
The more children and adults who understand this sign, the better we can protect and safeguard our young people. Be the adult who notices — and knows what to do.
If you see something, do something.
It only takes one aware adult
If you — or another adult — see this sign, act immediately to protect the child. This could include alerting another adult, phoning authorities, noting a vehicle’s number plate, or discreetly taking photos or recording those around the child.
No child should live in fear.
Protecting the children of yesterday, today, and tomorrow starts with us.

Message from our Ambassador
Scott Beard has an important message to share:
It is time for adults to recognise the silent signal used by children under 16 to show they are being sexually abused and are not safe.
For the safety of our children and the future of our country, we must share and teach this Global Hand Sign.
