HERE’S HOW THE AUTHORS DESCRIBE THIS FACTSHEET:

As part of Ontario’s plan to make our communities healthier and safer, the province is taking swift and decisive action to combat human trafficking and keep our communities safe by protecting children and youth through prevention and early intervention, ensuring survivors get the supports they need, raising awareness, and holding offenders accountable. Together with community partners, the government will work to fight this horrific crime. The strength of this strategy speaks to the magnitude of this crisis — not only in Ontario, but around the world — and demonstrates the Ontario government’s commitment to ensuring that combatting human trafficking becomes a national priority.
