E20: Athena Ives Human Trafficking Investigator, Author, Sex Crimes Educator & Marine Combat Veteran

Summary: Frank, aka Jesus, is amazing - when known properly. And, a huge part of knowing Him, is by knowing ourselves and going within for deeper connections. In this episode, I talk with Athena Ives, survivor and a warrior for children of sexual abuse, specifically LEGAL child marriage law LOOPHOLES that HELP predators to continue their abuses in private!

• What does the research show?
• Legal System corruption, the whole thing is orchestrated and not getting better
• John's punished minimally for sex crimes and rape
• Criminals know what they are doing
• Statues of Limitations ONLY HURTS SURVIVORS
• Survivors face legal abuse for speaking up
• What can we do? One way is through our art. Athena makes comics/graphic novels to help tell the truth and shed light on a dark subject that needs us to dive in
• Education is what will heal this rape culture
• Rapists believe they are above their victims and the law
• Where do we start? Homes and school. EDUCATE WHAT ABUSE IS
• Adults need to LISTEN and really PROCESS what is being shared with them and DO MORE
• The Victim Generation

• Sex abuse is "normal", let's please end this. NO ONE WANTS TO BE ABUSED AND HARM THEMSELVES TO ESCAPE
• Marital rape is still basically "legal" as it's not punished nor acknowledged still
• Horrible statistics for child rape survivors
• We need harsher punishments as DETERRANTS
