The Stage 32 Videos: Sex Abuse

In this 43 second clip, I'm filming in front of the building where mediation for my lawsuit was. I was talking to passers-by asking for their opinion about the sexual abuse that was taking place in the public school system at that time. The documentary is about my journey and the lawsuit I filed with the Supreme Court in British Columbia, Canada, in 2017 against a teacher (Wendell Diakiw) who sexually abused me, and School District 57. I was 9 and 10 years old at the time and attending grades 4 and 5.

This is a brief video I made for the annual 'SHIFT' conference that raises awareness about child sex-trafficking, especially in Denver. I spoke at the inaugural event in 2016. "Through a group of high school students passionate about ending trafficking in the world today, SHIFT Freedom was started in 2015 with a student-led conference. Forming into a movement empowered by adults; SHIFT FREEDOM is currently working to educate and empower to prevent child-sex-trafficking through an annual conference, events throughout the year; and in 2019: through video courses and training. SHIFT FREEDOM provides a platform for organizations also involved in the fight against sex-trafficking, and encourages collaboration of raising awareness and getting involved in these organizations both on local & global efforts." https://shiftfreedom.org

My goal is to release this documentary in 2021 or 2022. It's about my journey involving a lawsuit I filed with the Supreme Court in British Columbia, Canada, in 2017 against a teacher (Wendell Diakiw) who sexually abused me, and School District 57. I was 9 and 10 years old at the time and attending grades 4 and 5.
