Notes

  1. Both victim and survivor are used to reflect their equally prevalent use in this area. In some instances, one term is used preferentially over the other to follow the example of the author or to highlight the stage of trafficking that an individual is in. If they are a victim, they are still in the situation of exploitation or are viewed as such by certain parties like policymakers; survivors are no longer in that situation and this term is mostly used by support services who work to empower trafficked individuals.
