Did you know: It is estimated that 400,000 children every year are s*xually abused, and 93% of the time, those who perpetrate s*xual acts against children are someone the child knows?

The recent debut of the film "Michael" a biopic of late pop singer Michael Jackson made no mention made of the allegations of child s*xual abuse and even child s*x trafficking that also plagued his life and career.

This article, written by an expert in child s*xual abuse, Dr. Nadia Wagner - provides insight into the cases which came to light in the 2019 documentary "Leaving Neverland" and raises important concerns about why the pop star had so much access to young boys, and why the public is so unwilling to believe the stories of these victims.

One way you can be empowered to stand up for the vulnerable is to recognize the signs of grooming for abuse - as this article cites - parents are a part of the grooming process predators use. This can look like using gifts, charm, and celebrity status to gain trust, and thereby access to youth.

Get more equipped today by visiting our website (fiercefreedom.org) and YouTube page which includes videos on preventing CSA and responding if you feel your child has been a victim.

You can also check out this excellent CSA response training from Darkness to Light's: https://www.d2l.org

In an article first published on The Conversation Dr Wager says whether the accusations are true or not, the film has raised some important issues that need to be better understood if we are ever to prevent abuse from happening

Please join us in welcoming Ileah Henchel to the Board of Directors at Fierce Freedom! 🎉

Ileah brings a strong background in communications, photography, public speaking, technical writing, and human trafficking awareness advocacy. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Technical Communications with applied emphases in Tourism and Photography and has attended numerous anti-human trafficking awareness events at both the national and local levels.

During her time as Manager of Document Control and Human Trafficking Awareness Champion at Precision Pipeline, LLC, Ileah helped develop and support a human trafficking awareness program across the energy industry and trained employees to recognize the signs of trafficking.

She was also invited to speak on the topic at our inaugural Empower Freedom event, and also helped to coordinate events like the Markquart Menomonie Jeep Jam fundraiser, whose funds benefitted Fierce Freedom.

Ileah shares why she wanted to join Fierce Freedom's Board of Directors:

“Education and awareness are the essential first steps in driving meaningful change. As a member of the Fierce Freedom board, I am committed to advancing both—equipping people with knowledge and shining a light on this critical issue. I’ve always believed in speaking up when I see something wrong, and I’m eager to continue the fight against human trafficking alongside Fierce Freedom.”

We are incredibly grateful for Ileah’s passion, leadership, and heart for advocacy and prevention. Please help us give her a warm welcome to the Fierce Freedom team! 💙
