A little over two months ago, during the World Congress, we built momentum to reimagine what survivor leadership, inclusion, and partnership could look like globally. In January 2025, we will share key learnings and highlights from the event, which convened over 150 survivor leaders and allies from the global anti-trafficking community together in Nairobi, Kenya. During the sessions, we will show you: 1. What happened, what we learned, and the next steps. 2. The results of our special research on lived experience involvement in anti-trafficking conferences.

Educative. Transformative. Paradigm-Shifting. When we asked participants to describe their experiences in one word, the responses spoke volumes: Connection. Love. Diversity. Liberation. From feeling welcome and grateful to embracing the revolutionary and enlightening, these words reflect the profound impact of shared learning and growth. At Survivor Alliance, we are humbled to create spaces where people feel alive, helped, and empowered—even when the experience feels "too short." Together, we’re building a movement that’s as fascinating as it is transformative. Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. Let’s keep going! #SurvivorLeadership #CommunityConnection #TransformativeChange #Gratitude #WorldCongress2024 #PowerOfTheCollective #SurvivorAlliance #SurvivorsLead #SurvivorLed #Impact
