One-size-fits-all survivor response models fail to account for culture, race, and power.
-
Survivors of color experience unique barriers that institutions often overlook.

Policies alone do not create safety, trust, or access to support.
-
Cultural responsiveness must be embedded into professional practice, programs, and survivor services.
