Cynthya Annette Pagan-Hale

Cynthya Pagan Hale is a survivor, author, international speaker, and dedicated advocate for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, and systemic abuse. She is the Founder and Executive Director of FFT Helping Others, a nonprofit organization committed to supporting vulnerable individuals and families through advocacy, emergency assistance, education, and community outreach.

She is also the founder of the National Domestic Violence Rally, an initiative that brings survivors, advocates, community leaders, and organizations together to raise awareness, amplify survivor voices, and advocate for meaningful change.

As a Global Goodwill Ambassador and World Peace Ambassador, Cynthya has devoted her advocacy to addressing often-overlooked forms of abuse, including military-related domestic violence, coercive control, financial abuse, legal abuse, disability-related abuse, and the long-term effects of trauma.

Drawing from her lived experiences and years of advocacy, Cynthya works to bridge the gap between survivor experiences and the systems intended to protect them. Her mission is to promote prevention, accountability, accessible resources, and survivor-centered support.

She is also a children's book author who uses storytelling to encourage empathy, understanding, inclusion, and conversations about difficult subjects.

Cynthya believes that survivors deserve more than awareness. They deserve to be heard, believed, protected, and empowered to rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.
