Community Engagement
Community engagement is at the heart of everything that GLOWA does. GLOWA works diligently to provide a variety of services to help address the needs of those who have suffered the harms of sexual exploitation in their country. Because the damages can be vast, the call for assistance is equally expansive. It is not a single-sourced attempt but a multifaceted effort to meet people at their point of need and walk with them through the process of recovery. Survivor-centered and survivor-led, GLOWA strives to build a deep connection with local communities that fosters a sense of ownership and enhances community participation.
