Survivor-led Organizations

Survivor-led organizations are groups run by individuals who have experienced trauma, such as abuse or exploitation, and aim to support others facing similar issues. These organizations prioritize the voices and needs of survivors, empowering them to shape programs, policies, and advocacy efforts. By centering survivor leadership, these groups foster trust, authenticity, and specialized understanding, making their services more effective and responsive. They often work to raise awareness, influence systemic change, and provide resources or safe spaces for healing and recovery.
