Steve Maman
He helped escape thousands of Yazidi girls that were captured from ISIS. These girls were sexually terrorized multiple times then were sold as slaves. After successfully helping them escape, he started multiple donations and awareness's for sexual assault. This reminds me of Fredrick Douglass because he helped escape girls from slavery but didn't stop there. He continued to make people aware of big problems everyone should know about. ]]> 2017-11-02 00:34:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mflynn191/egu315gjsx0n/wish/202746964 mflynn191 https://padlet.com/mflynn191/egu315gjsx0n/wish/202748800 2017-11-02 00:48:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mflynn191/egu315gjsx0n/wish/202748800 mflynn191 https://padlet.com/mflynn191/egu315gjsx0n/wish/202749063 2017-11-02 00:49:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mflynn191/egu315gjsx0n/wish/202749063
