"From Victim to Voice by Sheri Lopez is a book I return to often. Its bullet-point format guides readers naturally from understanding grooming and trafficking to supporting someone who has been victimized. The book offers the powerful perspective of a survivor who has experienced this trauma firsthand.

From Victim to Voice has had a profound impact on my life. I have also sent several copies to grassroots outreach organizations in the Philippines to help educate local communities about the risks children face and how to protect them both online and offline. Our advocates draw on the book when presenting information to the public. It also provides role-playing examples and guidance for discussing these issues with children in age-appropriate ways that empower and reassure rather than frighten them.

In conclusion, the knowledge and practical guidance I have gained from this book are invaluable. It has helped us strengthen the training of our advocates, giving them the inspiration and confidence to engage their communities. If our efforts prevent even one child from becoming a victim of trafficking or exploitation, every minute Sheri devoted to writing this book will have been worthwhile. I am forever grateful for Sheri Lopez’s courage and for how she transformed her experience from victimhood into a powerful voice. God bless!"
