Daniëlle tells you a story that has not been told before. ‘Everyday I see the victims, from kids and teens to adults. I witnessed many traumatic things'.

Daniëlle calls it a form of high crime impact which is growing each day and wants to give people insight of the world we are living in. ‘People have to know the dangers, the victims, it could be your own child’. She wants create and improve the awareness around human trafficking. ‘I hope that people will learn to notice signals of human trafficking earlier and be aware of the risks of their own kids and family’.

These terrible things do not stop her from working. In fact, this only drives her more and further to stop this and achieve her goal. Daniëlle wants to know what she's talking about, experience it. And she is not afraid to give everything that is necessary. This is clear from her story when she went underground, to the world of the human traffickers.
