Summary
French, Rhona, ‘“You cannot switch off trauma on demand”: Mental health, memory and disclosure for trafficking survivors’, Helen Bamber Foundation, September 2026
Abstract
A new briefing from the Helen Bamber Foundation examines how trauma, fear and gaps in the asylum and trafficking systems can affect survivors’ ability to disclose their experiences and why proposed changes to credibility rules risk penalising survivors for the way trauma affects them.
