Celebrating 5 Years of Survivor Alliance
#LivingOurLegacy
As survivors of human trafficking, we cannot change our past, but we can leave a legacy for future generations. We can turn our trauma into treasured knowledge and make life a bit easier for the next person. At Survivor Alliance, we believe that we are providing opportunities for survivors to build a new legacy, one of our own choosing, to counteract the legacies of trauma. Our legacy isn't just something that we leave behind when we die. By living our legacies, we are actively leaving our mark every day. To celebrate the 5 years since Survivor Alliance's public launch, we are celebrating the individual and collective legacies that survivor leaders have left before us, are leaving now, and those we will leave in the future.

April 2023
During our Birthday Celebration Event we premiered our newest video - We Will - A Vision Statement, written & performed by participants of our Visioning Workshops.
In July and August 2022, more than 170 survivor leaders participated in the Visioning Workshops. During those workshops, we aimed to offer a collaborative and safe/brave space to collectively dream and envision how we want to see and experience survivor leadership in the anti-trafficking and anti-slavery sector for the next decade. We invited the participants to leverage their collective experience and expertise to bring to life the future that may yet be possible.
This video was inspired by the contribution made by one of the workshop participants, which felt like a statement and had a powerful impact on those in the meeting.
