WE ARESHEROES!SHEROES!SHEROES!
Sheroes United is all about supporting people in overcoming Trauma in the areas of Human Trafficking and Domestic Violence. Sheroes was founded by Celeste Gleave, who saw a need with Women Warriors needing support in the areas of domestic & sexual abuse. We pride ourselves on effecting change by focusing on Empowerment, Advocacy & Education.
FROM THEBEGINNINGBEGINNINGBEGINNING
In 2011 Celeste Gleave, a military veteran, had a dream to recognize the women fighting for our country’s freedom and sacrificing lives, family and mental health. She did something even the White House had never done--honored women veterans with a Salute to Women Warriors.
Shortly thereafter, Bridget Cook-Burch and Celeste met as two women CEOs in normally male-dominated industries. Both strong women had survived and thrived beyond trauma. More needed to be done for their sisters, and that historic meeting changed their world, and their community. Celeste and Bridget quickly met with an extraordinary group of women business leaders: Sandy Hudson, Julie Harmon, Becky Swanson, Rene Johnson, Micaela Choo and Pamela Okumura alongside Celeste and Bridget. Too many women were suffering, too few were speaking out, and they knew they had to make it cool to RISE.

With an estimated 21 million people trafficked around the world, including 5.5 million children, SHEROES United understands the urgency in action and education to stem the tide and to create a powerful movement for positive change. We have created and implemented programs to educate our community, and communities worldwide, in hands-on training, prevention, and highly visible action and interaction with community members in order to bring this light and change.
One in three women worldwide have experienced either physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence in their lifetime. SHEROES United is making a powerful stand for change, taking action, providing essential education and global activism in laws and community consciousness, as well as preventative programs, life-skills training and culturally-conscious education.
Women who are involved in the armed services, police work and other first-responder positions are estimated to be at extremely high-risk for rape, assault, and emotional trauma in regards to their work as warriors on behalf and inside their communities. SHEROES United provides a safe place to voice stories, receive education, life-skills, and much-needed support to thrive inside and outside of the military and first-responder positions.
