What a joy and an honor to have been part of this journey and to release this report today in 4 languages! 🥹🥳🙌🏾

Two years ago, the brilliant Megan Lundstrom brought together a team of economic justice and human trafficking experts across the country to design a survivor-led research project around some key questions:
- What do survivors of trafficking wish employers knew?
- How do we move from short-term economic empowerment to long-term, sustainable economic justice?

What started as an idea became a national study with 102 survivor participants across the US and Canada and with an intentional focus on survivor, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and language justice inclusion. ✊🏾🏳️‍🌈🌎
