impact and DAMAGE its victims. Survivors may have physical signs of abuse that can heal quickly, but they also have emotional scars that can take years to heal. In reality they will be dealing with it for the rest of their lives. Many survivors go through therapy but it takes years for them to heal psychological and some never achieve this. Other survivors, however, begin their own work to raise awareness and dedicate their lives to helping others survive. ‘I have a new life but I am haunted by the faces of those who used me, those whom I did not choose, those for whom I was nothing more than a ten minute thing.’ A UK trafficking survivor.
