Human Sexual Trafficking is a form of slavery. It happens when human beings are sold and bought for the purposes of sexual exploitation. It includes people (mostly women and girls) being recruited, transported, transferred, harboured or received. These actions are accomplished by means of force, the threat of force, or other forms of coercion. It is always involuntary because even when consent is achieved, it is through some form of fraud, deception, abduction/kidnapping or abuse of power/vulnerability.



With the Vancouver 2010 Olympics approaching, the demand for bodies to service the sex trade will increase. So will the number of victims. For more information, visit Salvationist.ca/trafficking or thetruthisntsexy.ca.
