Raising Our Voices

Rita and Mercy dive into what prevention really looks like when we center culture change in the movement to end sexual violence and human trafficking. This episode explores the conversations our society rarely has about healthy relationships, consent and boundaries, and why prevention must start long before harm occurs. Mercy brings powerful insight from her work with young people, and together they break down everyday ways to practice consent culture, challenge norms and step in as active bystanders. They also share how Our Voice approaches prevention across ages and communities, ending with an important look at human trafficking and the role we all play in building a safer future. Tune in for an inspiring and thought provoking discussion about the world we can create together.

In this episode of Raising Our Voices, Outreach Coordinator Caitrin Doyle from Helpmate joins Our Voice for a deep and thoughtful conversation about how sexual and intimate partner violence often intersect. Together, we unpack the shared roots of power and control, explore the overlapping realities of trauma and survivorship, and highlight how collaboration between advocacy organizations strengthens community response.
