Survivor stories, accounts from abolitionists and education videos.
Parys Hall interviews Partnership to End Human Trafficking’s Executive Director, Jamie Manirakiza and Evee who serves as the Creative Associate/Social Media Specialist at PEHT and is a survivor advocate.
Parys Hall sits down with Candice Spangler, a courageous survivor of sex trafficking who now dedicates her life to combating this heinous crime. After enduring over 25 years of exploitation, Candice has transformed her profound personal ordeal into a force for good, working with the innovative nonprofit organization, Skull Games.
In this conversation we talk about supporting mothers, the connection between abortion and sex trafficking and more. Let Them Live was founded by Emily and Nathan Berning in 2019 after they were connected with a woman who was homeless and wanting an abortion because she couldn’t pay her bills. They emptied their bank account and gave her the financial assistance she needed to keep her baby. They realized that many other women were getting abortions due to financial burden or from lack of support from immediate friends and family.
Alan Smyth serves as the Executive Director for Saving Innocence, an anti-human trafficking, community based organization focused on the recovery and restoration of child victims of sex trafficking. Based in Los Angeles, Alan has responsibility over Direct Services and Business Operations. His main focus includes budgeting and resource development, strategic partnerships, staff development and client services. “Fight For Me” are words he heard directly from a child survivor of sex trafficking. As a man, Alan has seen how important his male voice is in combating this dark reality in our society.
