Some of us remain stuck because we don't understand the 2/3rd's life theory. In anti-trafficking work or indeed in life in general, we can adopt two of three routes to achievement. We can accomplish in a way that is cheap, fast, or good.  We can't have all three. Make the best decision for you.

Lora's early life was one of extreme victimization by family, strangers, and systems.  She was first trafficked at the age of nine, while her mother watched on.  As a young woman she was institutionalized in a mental hospital without just cause. Her saving grace was the formal and informal messengers and advocates that appeared throughout her life to offer hope and love. Her message for us is to understand that when we reach out to help someone, we may be the one person that offers them the love and hope they need at the very moment they need it.  Finally, many survivors can and do heal from trauma to lead a life of joy and purpose.
