World Congress
The Power of the Collective
Welcome Leaders!
Welcome to the 2024 World Congress, The Power of the Collective, organized by Survivor Alliance! We are excited to gather survivor leaders from around the globe for the second time in this significant event. We cannot wait to join you as we come together to share knowledge, build collective power, and reinforce survivor leadership at the front of the anti-human trafficking and anti-slavery movement.
The World Congress is a tri-annual (every three years), survivor-led, movement-building event that unites the Survivor Alliance community to promote and enhance survivor leadership. It is the only survivor-led and focused event of its kind, bringing together 115 multinational adult survivor leaders of all types of trafficking, and 50 allies. Our Planning Committee, comprised entirely of survivor leaders, has thoughtfully designed the program to provide dedicated spaces for survivor leaders and allies to meet, discuss, and collaborate both independently and collectively.
Packed full of community-building activities, we will offer recreational opportunities for networking, self-care, and meaningful engagement. It is also the only anti-trafficking sector event where survivors are the primary curators of the agenda for allies. You can read the report from our first World Congress to learn more.
