Founder & Vision Lead
Scarlet Smith
Scarlet has carried a long-standing burden for the exploited. Her work in anti-trafficking advocacy and lobbying has shaped the spiritual and strategic vision behind Oppress No More! and continues to drive the ministry's commitment to rescue, restoration, and renewal.
Her calling is also deeply personal. As a survivor of domestic abuse and sexual exploitation herself, Scarlet ministers from a place of hard-won understanding — meeting other survivors with the same compassion, hope, and gospel truth that brought healing to her own story, and fueling a fierce passion for prevention so that fewer women and children ever have to walk the road she walked.
Scarlet leads our prevention initiatives, women's ministry partnerships, and survivor-care relationships — building the gospel-centered framework that surrounds every operation we run.
Her conviction is simple: the Church cannot be silent while children are sold in our city.
