SURVIVOR LEADERSHIP RESOURCES
Please note that unless the resource has a Survivor Alliance logo on it, we are not explicitly endorsing any programs or information. We are listing them here so they are easy for our members to find. Our resources are listed into the key categories we think are important for leadership: knowledge, skills, experience, and emotional intelligence.

‘Our Own Words’
Survivor Alliance is pleased to present a collection of poems, letters and artworks created by survivor leaders and members. The themes explored in this publication will be alternative identities to ‘victim’; ownership of stories; survivors’ voices, and experiences of the Home Office.
‘Conversations of Empowerment’
Every month in our Members Only newsletter, we publish a Member Spotlight so that our community learns about one another. For UK Anti-Slavery Week 2020, we compiled the spotlights of those who consented to have them shared publicly. We are pleased to present this compilation of leaders who have the determination to move further in their dreams and engage in building community. A community pursuing social change and a fairer world. These are portraits of commitment and resilience. Thank you to the work of our committed volunteer Savitka Heran, who systematically has interviewed survivor leaders from around the globe.
