  • Summary

    The Conclusion identifies that the insights into survivors’ meanings and experiences as they relate to the giving of narrative, their perspectives on freedom, the effects of slavery on identity and trauma, and the challenges of recovery are merely the start of a conversation, an opening for further analysis and research. The books’ findings reinforce the need to develop survivor-centric frameworks constructed in the context of survivors own lived experiences and which engage with survivor activism and argues for a transformation in the way that narratives are gathered and presented, and in which survivors are able to participate in the antislavery sector. The Conclusion explores the need to address the gendered discourse on sexual slavery and revisit estimations; to consider slavery survivors’ trauma as a distinct group; to evaluate the effectiveness of global recovery programmes; understand the trauma of survivor activism; and to identify best practice and the most effective tools for psychological support.
