Oklahoma Justice Exchange

In recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, this episode of the Oklahoma Justice Exchange features a powerful conversation with Terri Stone, an Oklahoma Tribal victim advocate working directly with survivors. Together, we explore how survivors navigate the civil justice system, including protective orders in both state and tribal courts, and the complex jurisdictional landscape unique to Oklahoma. This episode highlights the critical role advocates play in helping survivors understand their options, access protection, and move through systems that can often feel overwhelming.  Whether you are a professional, advocate, or community member, this conversation offers insight into how civil legal tools can support safety, autonomy, and access to justice.
