Survivor-Led Systems Consulting for Commercial Sexual Exploitation Response
This work is grounded in lived experience of commercial sexual exploitation (CSE) and supports cross-sector systems working to respond to it.
One Survivor to Another provides survivor-informed consulting that helps government agencies and community-based organizations align roles, build trust, and translate survivor realities into shared action — especially when coordination is being introduced or expanded.
What This Work Supports
Responses to commercial sexual exploitation often require collaboration across public agencies and institutional partners — including funding bodies, research institutions, community-based organizations, healthcare, law enforcement, and youth-serving systems. When coordination begins, these systems bring different mandates, accountability structures, and institutional histories that shape how harm is understood and addressed.
Who We Are
Our work is rooted in lived experience of commercial sexual exploitation, multicultural attunement, and cross-sector engagement.
This positioning allows us to synthesize multi-system realities and support trust-building in ways that complement and strengthen multidisciplinary collaboration.
Because this work integrates lived experience with professional systems analysis, it helps partners:
-
Understand how policies, processes, and coordination are actually experienced by survivors and survivor leaders
-
Maintain survivor-centered decision-making during periods of pressure and transition
What We Do
The consulting role supports cross-sector teams as they navigate complexity — helping maintain clarity, alignment, and survivor-centered values as systems move from intention into practice by
-
Grounding systems work in lived experience
Bringing insight into how system interactions impact survivors in real time, across sectors. -
Applying multicultural and community attunement
Recognizing how race, culture, identity, and history shape trust, access, and engagement within CSE responses. -
Synthesizing cross-sector realities
Integrating perspectives from public agencies, funders, research institutions, community-based organizations, healthcare, law enforcement, survivor-led, and youth-serving systems into a coherent, survivor-centered view.
This role operates alongside coordination, strengthening cross-system collaboration by adding perspective developed not through policy or process, but through multi-system proximity, lived experience of commercial sexual exploitation, and sustained engagement across institutional boundaries.
