THE ISSUE

​Human Sex trafficking/Sexual Exploitation is the fastest growing crime in Canada and the world.  

It is a form of "modern day slavery"

Today’s slavery has low costs and huge profits; a trafficker can make $280,000 per victim, per year.  Average age of entry into prostitution is 12-14 years of age in Canada, although traffickers are targeting children as young as 8 years of age.  There is a dramatic increase in child exploitation and child pornography (production and consumption).  Unchecked pornography on the internet fuels the sex trade creating an increasing demand for paid sex.  The biggest problem we have in Canada: people do not know we have a problem here; therefore the traffickers are developing the sex industry exponentially.  Every woman and child, the marginalized and vulnerable will become a potential target and victim, unless we do something to stop it.
