| Risk | Description | Mitigation Strategy | |------|-------------|----------------------| | Re-traumatization | Survivors may experience distress when retelling their trauma. | Provide trauma-informed interview protocols, offer counseling, and allow survivors to set boundaries. | | Exploitation | Campaigns may use sensational stories for donations or ratings without supporting the survivor. | Compensate survivors for their time and expertise; obtain informed consent. | | Simplification | Complex experiences reduced to “inspiration porn” or a single soundbite. | Let survivors tell their story in their own words; avoid editing for maximum shock value. | | Survivor backlash | Other survivors may feel that one story does not represent their experience. | Include diverse narratives (different genders, races, ages, outcomes). |
