The Canadian Women’s Foundation defines trafficking as an extreme form of violence against women and girls, though boys, men and people who identify as 2SLGBTQ+ are also targeted. The average age of recruitment into sex trafficking is 13 years old; about two-thirds of police-reported human trafficking cases in Canada occur in Ontario. Ontario’s anti-human trafficking strategy includes actions across government focused on raising awareness, protecting victims and intervening early, supporting survivors, and holding offenders accountable. https://www.ontario.ca/page/ontarios-anti-human-trafficking-strategy-2020-2025 #ENDhumantrafficking #GBV #VAW
