TRUE TALK
In small groups, Mist members organise workshops and produce podcasts out of collective discussions. They freely discuss subjects chosen collectively and record themselves using the radio equipment owned by the association. They are all responsible for the discussions and the content of the podcasts they produce. At the end of the sessions, they decide together which extracts are to be broadcast.
Saison 2 : True talk, Life after.
As part of weekly discussion groups on the theme of “life after the street”, Mist members record their own podcasts and broadcast them for other victims in Europe.
What are the challenges of this new life? How do you overcome them? How do you talk about them, break taboos and encourage support for each other in this new battle?
These recordings are a genuine individual and collective therapeutic tool; they began in September 2021 and are still ongoing.

Episode 6
In 2017, the French President declared that what happened in Libya was human trafficking and a crime against humanity. In 2021, he said “France has a debt to Libya and the Libyan people: a decade of disorder”. Today, Mist members would like to ask @emmanuelmacron a question: what about the debt of the French state to the victims of this crime against humanity, sold and exploited in Libya during these ten years of disorder? Thousands of them are living in France today without shelter or documents. Why is it so difficult for us to have protection and the right to stay in France, while you know so well what we have endured?
Episode 7
You know, when people talk about “Libya, Libya” or “Europe, Europe”, well, it’s not a piece of cake! My friends, please, if you have something to add or to tell, do it, because if it’s just one person talking, people will say it’s a lie. Go on, tell me! Write a message or come and speak at the microphone!
Saison 1 : True talk, from France to Nigeria
As part of the online prevention campaign Don’t Pay With Your Life (1), a group of thirteen women members of Mist produced eight episodes of a podcast entitled TRUE TALK aimed at young Nigerian girls, particularly those living in Edo state in southern Nigeria, the heartland of sex trafficking to Europe. The recordings were made between December 2020 and June 2021, during fifteen sessions, including ten group discussions and recording workshops, co-hosted with the associations Radio activité and Jouir (2).
- Don’t Pay With Your Life Campaign is coordinated by ECPAT France and run in partnership with the associations Mist (France), AFJ (France) and Girls power Initiative (Nigeria): Don’t Pay With Your Life Campaign – Home | Facebook. This campaign aims to raise awareness and encourage young people under the age of 25 in Nigeria’s Edo State to get involved in the fight against the trafficking of young Nigerian women for sexual exploitation.
