Episode Details

Sonya Stokes, a survivor of childhood sexual abuse by a serial offender, is fighting for automatic protection orders after conviction—so survivors don’t have to beg for safety. With allies like Shaneda Daly, she’s lobbying politicians using her lived experience to push for urgent reforms: mandatory GPS tracking, better cross-border cooperation, and immediate victim notification when offenders are released or relocated. After feeling abandoned post-conviction, Sonya knows survivors need support now—not years later—because without it, many turn to addiction, self-harm, or suicide. Her story is a call to action: justice must include care, and protection must be guaranteed from day one.
