*Sensitive Content Notice This presentation discusses experiences of violence, exploitation, and systemic injustice through the lens of a survivor case study.* While much of anti-trafficking service provision centers on the trafficking event itself, the deeper realities for many survivors are far more layered and complex. Healing, as it is often viewed, cannot happen by addressing trafficking alone when so many survivors carry histories of multiple victimizations—before, during, and after their trafficking experiences. This workshop will serve as a catalyst for critical exploration of polyvictimization—the compounded effect of facing multiple forms of violence—and how forced criminality entangles survivors in cycles of legal and social injustice long after exploitation ends. Using a pseudonymous case study, participants will walk through the life of a survivor who endured many layers of victimization, and later faced ongoing victimization, criminal charges, and systemic barriers that kept them trapped even after the trafficking ended. Through storytelling and creative multimedia, participants will examine how societal judgment, systemic failures, and misdiagnosis of survivor realities create ongoing barriers to self-directed healing, employment, and full reintegration. Rather than promoting a cookie-cutter view of recovery, this workshop challenges participants to normalize the real effects of trauma, including the barriers survivors face, and reject the expectation of a "perfect" or linear healing process. Together, we will reimagine approaches that honor the whole humanity and complexity of individuals who have experienced trafficking, focusing on building creative, supportive partnerships that empower survivors to shape their own pathways while they are still healing, not only after society deems them "healed." As we continue conversations about survivor-centered and trauma-informed care, it is essential to widen the lens to include histories of polyvictimization and the reality of forced criminality. This session will generate solution-focused conversations about how anti-trafficking responses can unintentionally oversimplify survivor journeys, and why a deeper, more layered understanding is critical to improving support systems.
