Upholding Dignity through Ethical Storytelling
At Ally, we believe in the power of stories to inspire action—but we also carry the deep responsibility of sharing survivor stories with dignity. When we tell the stories of children and young people who have experienced trafficking and exploitation, we prioritize respect, compassion and the agency of each survivor.
We collaborate with survivors throughout the storytelling process, ensuring they retain control over how and when their story is shared. Stories are only told with informed, enthusiastic consent—and survivors have the right to change their mind at any time.
Without minimizing the harm they’ve endured, we focus on their resilience, strength and courage. Because they are not just survivors—they are leaders, advocates and changemakers. Storytelling, in this light, becomes a tool for restoration, not exploitation.
