How we protect the people in these stories
Some of the people we serve could face retaliation if they were identified. Publication is never automatic.
- We obtain informed consent before publishing a story or photograph, and consent can be withdrawn.
- We use pseudonyms, and we publish fully anonymous accounts when that is safer.
- We use cropped, distant, or non-identifying photographs — or an illustrative image clearly labeled as such.
- We give general geographic information only. We do not publish exact locations, addresses, or workplace details.
Every story currently on this site is clearly marked placeholder content written to illustrate the situations we intend to address. No real individual is depicted or named.
