We are survivors and we know what they have been through that and we have been through that and we have come out of it, and that's why we're here to help them.
What happens when a survivor turns their pain into a powerful voice for change? In this episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now', Eileen Dong from Houston, Texas, shares her incredible journey from being a child abuse survivor to becoming a leading advocate against domestic abuse, human trafficking, and sexual assault. As Ms. Texas, Eileen uses her platform to shine a light on the often-hidden epidemic of gender-based violence, especially within cultures where stigma silences victims.
