Human Trafficking: Myths Vs. Facts

2/22/2023

 
An image of car passing on a highway at night.
Today, February 22nd, is National Human Trafficking Awareness Day. Today is a day dedicated to bringing awareness to the need to combat labour trafficking, and sex trafficking in Canada.

At
SASC, we acknowledge that human trafficking is a pervasive threat to public safety in Waterloo Region and that it is vital to unpack myths and facts about human trafficking to bring awareness to the issue. 

In addition to reading this article, we encourage you to consider attending our annual educational play, 
Chelsea's Story,
based on a real case of sex trafficking.  

​Please be advised that this blog post includes difficult, upsetting or triggering content about sexual assault, human trafficking and exploitation. If you are made uncomfortable at any point during your reading of this post, please do not hesitate to call our 24-Hour Support Line at: 519 741 8633.
