  • There are many different types of survivors, between labor trafficking and sexual trafficking and all their subcategories.
  • It doesn’t matter how informed we are if we don’t have a safe place for victims to go.

  • Learn from survivors.
  • Many survivors are abusing drugs or alcohol, some being forced to and some using it to numb themselves from the pain.
