Fight Human Trafficking Through Canada's Prostitution Laws

NOTE: Petitions DUE APRIL 1st… It was a good evening tonight, even with a disturbing subject. We learned a lot about how prostitution is inseparably linked with human trafficking. We also learned that legalizing prostitution (which Ontario is on the verge of doing) only benefits pimps; it actually increases human trafficking, puts prostituted women at greater risk, and makes the male exploitation of women more prevalent and socially acceptable! Holland is a sad example of this.

Now is an opportune time for you to let your MP know how you’d like Canada’s laws to be re-written regarding women who are bought and sold in prostitution. The current laws have been ruled unconstitutional and the Canadian government will be required to make changes if this ruling stands.

We wrote to our MP (Kevin Sorenson) and asked for the implementation of the Swedish (or Nordic) model of prostitution law in Canada. Swedish model of law recognizes prostitution as a form of male violence against women and children and acknowledges how it’s linked with the demand for paid sex that human trafficking supplies. See this great article for more on that: 10 Reasons Not to Legalize Prostitution.

Want to join us in asking your MP to do the same? Here’s the postcard campaign:

Canada Can Do Better for Prostituted Women

And here’s a good template for a letter to your MP, specifically about the Nordic model of law, and petitions from M.P. Joy Smith’s website (which are due back to her by April 1st). 

Here’s a video from Covenant Women Ministries about the sad reality of sex slaves prevalent across North America. Most are children.

This breaks the heart of God. Thank you REED for the info and your concern for how our culture’s perspective on the sex trade affects human trafficking in Canada!
