Disclosure

Disclosure is the act of revealing or making known information that was previously unknown or not publicly shared. In the context of human trafficking, disclosure may refer to the act of a victim of trafficking revealing their experiences to others, such as to law enforcement, health care providers, or support services. Disclosure can be a difficult and sometimes traumatic process for victims of trafficking, as it may involve reliving traumatic experiences and sharing sensitive information. It is important for victims of trafficking to have access to support and assistance when making a disclosure, and for the disclosure process to be sensitive and respectful of their needs and rights.
