The 2025 Trafficking in Persons Report outlines where governments stand in the fight against human trafficking — but survivors know that statistics and rankings only tell part of the story. Behind the charts are underfunded services, harmful myths, and policies that fail to meet the real needs of survivors. This article looks at where the report falls short, why survivor voices must shape anti-trafficking work, and what you can do — right now — to close the gap. From funding local organizations to pushing for survivor-led policy, real change begins with action at the community level.

Poverty Is a Construct of Greed
I haven’t always lived this way. I built a business, traveled the world, and raised a family, only to be pushed back into poverty when illness ended my career. This didn’t happen by chance. It happened by design. Poverty is not natural. Poverty is a construct of greed.
Creating Expression
For over twenty years, I’ve explored hobbies, research, and creative projects as tools for self-healing and personal growth. From painting and writing to diving into alternative science and history, following curiosity has been a lifeline. Creating Expression shows how small, curiosity-driven activities can reduce stress, foster self-compassion, and make self-care enjoyable—turning everyday exploration into an adventure in discovery.
Taking Charge
Self-managed healing is an essential approach for trauma survivors, emphasizing personal agency and the pace of recovery. It allows individuals to safely explore their emotions and rebuild trust in themselves. This method, combined with purpose, creates resilience and meaningful growth, guiding one from self-care to deeper connections and contributions.
