The original protectors are moms. They stick around, typically, not saying that there aren't bad moms out there, there are, but for the most part, moms are the first line of defense when a child is hurt. They will do whatever it takes to protect their child.
Imagine facing a legal system that doesn't protect you or your children from abuse. In this episode of 'The Never Give Up Show!', Bailey Smith chats with Kathy 'Alamea-Xian, a powerhouse advocate and the Executive Director of Protective Makua. Kathy’s mission? To reform family courts and ensure that abused parents and children are safeguarded without the fear of retaliation or losing custody.
Kathy shares her journey from grassroots activism to leading a Hawaii-based organization that fights for justice on a national and international scale. She dives into her work with the Pacific Alliance to Stop Slavery, recounting how she helped pass Hawaii’s first anti-sex trafficking law and outlaw sex tourism. But it’s not just about laws; it's about real people, real families, and real change.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone who has faced domestic violence, navigated the complexities of the legal system, or simply wants to be inspired by a story of relentless advocacy and hope.
