Ethical campaigns follow three golden rules: A survivor may agree to share their story today, but tomorrow a news cycle might trigger PTSD. Ethical campaigns check in before every re-share. Survivors should have the right to pull their story at any time, no questions asked. 2. Compensation and Agency Time is money. Asking a survivor to relive their trauma for a free t-shirt is exploitation. Top campaigns pay speakers, offer gift cards for focus groups, and credit survivors as co-creators.

The Ethical Tightrope: Avoiding Exploitation Here lies the critical caveat. The marriage of survivor stories and awareness campaigns is fraught with danger. The worst thing an organization can do is exploit trauma for clicks. Ethical campaigns follow three golden rules: A survivor
Then came the shift. The #MeToo movement was not started by a slogan written in a boardroom. It was started by Tarana Burke, and later exploded because millions of survivors shared a two-word phrase online. There was no intermediary editing their pain. There was no statistician sanitizing their truth. It was raw, narrative, viral. Top campaigns pay speakers, offer gift cards for
