© 2023 ALIGHT. The images used on this website are stock photos and do not represent actual human trafficking survivors. The survivor stories are composites offered for illustrative purposes and represent only a portion of the realities experienced by survivors. While groups and individuals may use different terms when talking about this issue, ALIGHT tends to use "survivor" to affirm the individual's journey forward. We must all be conscious about supporting survivors on their own terms, rather than re-exploiting and re-traumatizing them through our representations and ideas of them.
