Societal trauma is imposed by us when we only support victims of commercial sexual violence that fit neatly into an accepted narrative. Trauma happens by society when we get the "what" human trafficking is wrong, "who" the victims often are wrong, and "how" to best address the issue wrong. To support survivors of commercial sexual violence as well as the issue itself, we need to dismantle systems of oppression that work to see some victims as worthy and other victims as unworthy.
