Minister Vindhya Persaud demonstrating the human trafficking distress gesture. In Guyana in 2022, the Ministry of Human Services and Social Security announced a gesture of clasping the fingers into the palm and releasing them, in a repeated motion three times, to be used as a signal that the person was a victim of human trafficking and required help.
The signal is performed by holding one hand up with the thumb tucked into the palm, then folding the four other fingers down, symbolically trapping the thumb by the rest of the fingers. [3] It was designed intentionally as a single continuous hand movement, rather than a sign held in one position, so it could be made easily visible.
Distress signals are communicated by transmitting radio signals, displaying a visually observable item or illumination, or making a sound audible from a distance. A distress signal indicates that a person or group of people, watercraft, aircraft, or other vehicle is threatened by a serious or imminent danger and requires immediate assistance. [1]:
