Smallest truths, greatest freedoms: Unlocking justice when atrocity survivors lead

Smallest Truths by Zovighian Public Office

Episode notes

What does it mean to “do no harm” when telling the truths of survivors? In this inaugural episode of “Smallest Truths,” Zovighian Public Office (ZPO) founder Lynn Zovighian speaks with Nadine Maenza, former Chair of USCIRF, about serving communities facing religious freedom violations and risks.

Together, they explore the fragile balance between advocacy and safety: when silence protects communities, and when silence hurts them. They discuss the power of independence in humanitarian diplomacy, the ethics of survivor trust, and how the smallest truths can shift power from perpetrators to survivors.
