Most of the time, it is seen that this helping hand becomes one of the survivors only. Shannon Martinez happens to be one such helping hand. She happens to be a survivor and leader in her way and also the consultant in the cases of domestic human trafficking. She offers her consultations with the local law and enforcements as well as other related agencies. She offers them the ethnographic perspective of the cases of the human trafficking on the domestic level.

After she had recovered from her own incident, Shannon became a public advocate as well as a speaker. She started the programs that empower others, specially the victims in this case.
