There are very few details given in the article about exactly when the
Birkat haGomel was said.

The poskim (Beer Heteiv, Mishna Berura) talk about a woman saying Birkat
haGomel during Keri'at haTorah from the other side of the Mechitsa.

There is no mention in the Article of a Torah, only a "Podium". The woman
was surrounded by her Family and her recitation was followed by dancing.

Sounds more like a post-davening celebration. Before guessing, the Shul
rabbi should be consulted.
