survivor-led initiatives

Survivor-led initiatives are programs and projects that are developed and run by individuals who have experienced trauma or hardship, such as violence, abuse, or natural disasters. These initiatives prioritize the voices, needs, and solutions identified by survivors themselves, rather than outside organizations dictating what should be done. This approach empowers survivors, fosters community resilience, and often leads to more effective and relevant support. By involving survivors directly, these initiatives create a safer and more informed environment for addressing their unique challenges and promoting healing.
