This keynote offers a sweeping look at the systems, policies, and practices that continue to create barriers for survivors of human trafficking. Grounded in real-world challenges and survivor experiences, it examines how institutional responses can unintentionally perpetuate harm—and what it takes to build approaches rooted in equity, accountability, and justice. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of the interconnected injustices impacting survivors and the collective responsibility required to transform the systems meant to protect them.
