A survivor of child sex trafficking for 16 years is pushing for more to be done over New Zealand's alarmingly high rate of sexual abuse.

The Handing the Shame Back campaign aims to give children who have suffered abuse a way to communicate - including using an open palm signal.

Our country has a high rate of sexual abuse with one in three girls sexually abused by the age of 16.

Author, survivor, and advocate Gloria Masters told Kate Hawkesby that they've spoken to police but there's still work to be done.

She can't sit back and watch these rates, and is wondering where the outcry from the public is.
