For Survivor Leaders
As we envision a world where survivors are able to thrive, the EEC must create and sustain pathways for survivors to enter leadership positions within our own community. For CSE work to be survivor-led, pathways need to be clear and accessible so work can truly be guided and led by those who have been impacted by commercial sexual exploitation.
