Advocating Against MST with Shield of Sisters ft. Kaila Fain - HWSR Ep 143

In this episode of the He's Wrong She's Right podcast, ‘Advocating Against MST with Shield of Sisters ft. Kaila Fain’, hosts Andrew Lemacks and Nona Phelps welcome back Kaila Fain, their first returning guest. Kaila passionately discusses her advocacy work with Shield of Sisters, a nonprofit organization focused on combating military sexual trauma (MST). She shares deeply personal experiences, elucidates the pervasive inadequacies within the military's handling of MST cases, and elaborates on the rampant issues of retaliation and lack of support for survivors. Kayla highlights her recent keynote speech at a Shield of Sisters conference, which solely focused on MST survivors. She describes the heavy yet empowering atmosphere of the event, where attendees found solace and strength in sharing their stories. Furthermore, she talks about her vision for the future, including the creation of a 'battle angels' program that sends advocates to support MST victims in real-time. Kaila also discusses her involvement with the Technology Shared Foundation, aimed at bridging the technology divide for underserved communities. The issue of public awareness, desensitization from social media, and the need for systemic change in military protocols are also touched upon. The episode underscores the crucial necessity for accountability, integrity, and a significant cultural shift within the military to ensure the protection and support of its service members. Kaila's mission is clear: to bring about real change and give survivors the advocacy they deserve.
