Trailer: The Silenced Voices of MST

The Silenced Voices of MST is a survivor-led podcast sharing firsthand accounts of Military Sexual Trauma from service members, dependents, civilians, and even those targeted by recruiters who never made it into the ranks. Hosted by Air Force veteran and survivor Rachelle Smith, the show exposes how widespread the problem is and how deeply institutions have failed to protect those who trusted them. Survivors describe pain, isolation, and the long process of seeking healing through determination, community, and the hard lessons they have carried forward. Episodes also feature organizations and advocates pressing for cultural change and accountability. This trailer introduces the mission of the podcast and the voices determined to break the silence.
