Survivors, advocates, and builders — confronting system failure together.

Justine was the first survivor to come forward publicly regarding an alleged repeat perpetrator and the first to uncover massive Telegram chats, websites, and archives exposing abuse. Drawing on her investigative journalism skills, her work is driven by accountability, truth, and systemic change.

Her work spans advocacy, policy, and legal reform — confronting failures within police services, victim programs, and institutional responses to sexual violence and exploitation. She exposes emerging trafficking tactics, particularly within nightlife, digital spaces, and encrypted platforms, and translates complex threats into actionable knowledge for communities and decision-makers.

Throughout, Justine has operated as her own legal advocate, researcher, and public strategist while building an academic foundation in political science, criminology, and forensic science. She intends to pursue law school and brings the Collective forward-looking leadership grounded in lived experience and uncompromising survivor-centred reform.

Sarah is a survivor advocate and technology founder working at the intersection of AI, digital safety, and systemic harm. With a background in digital innovation and AI, her work focuses on how emerging technologies are reshaping online sexual harms, survivor privacy, evidence, and accountability.

Following her own experience navigating Canada's criminal justice system, Sarah co-founded The Survivor Collective — an initiative focused on prevention, survivor support, and systemic change. Her advocacy spans media engagement, policy conversation, and direct work with institutions on continuity, ethical safeguards, and accountability beyond outcomes.

Sarah is also building survivor-centered technology designed to close the gap between harm and support — including First Step and survivorneeds.org. Visit sarahjezek.ca for more.
