I'm speaking to meaningful engagement with survivors. I think survivor-led initiatives are important. We're certainly hearing more about them.
I think there need to be not just trauma-informed spaces but survivor-informed spaces. There are multiple nuances that need to be considered when inviting survivors to the table. We have to be very aware of how we might re-exploit survivors when we engage them, and how to mitigate those risks.
Also, it's having more than one survivor. I cannot speak for all survivors across the country. I am a white, cis, straight woman; my experience is very different from the experience of other survivors. There is a need for a variety of folks to come forward about their own experiences in a way that is meaningful.
