Abstract
Greed (and its attendant shortcuts), accidents, and natural disasters continue to inflict trauma on survivors in their wake. Loss of dignity, of self, of family, of home also result from entire communities being ravaged by systemic violence and disenfranchisement: psychological and physical abuse that goes unchecked behind closed doors, kidnapping and rape employed as instruments of war, and so on. The scars engraved in people’s souls and bodies through trauma are deep and rugged.
