It's modern slavery Continued from page 1 11 · Thursday, May 3, 2012 OAKVILLE BEAVER · www.insideHALTON.com only by the degradation faced by its victims who are coerced or threatened into sexual slavery. "This is something that is getting a lot more attention than it has gotten in the past," said Stewart-Rhude. "It has just begun to be recognized as something that needs to be dealt with all over the world. Our real objective is to make people aware of it because most of the time people aren't even aware." Stewart-Rhude said the event will be at the Evangel Pentecostal Church, 1450 Rebecca St., and will run from 9:30 a.m.-9 p.m. Some of the keynote speakers will include Founder of Men Against Sexual Trafficking (MAST) Stan Burditt, Policy Analyst with the Centre of Faith and Public Life Julia Beazley, Commissioner Christine MacMillan of the Salvation Army, a member of the European Freedom Network, which is combating human trafficking in Europe and a woman who will discuss her escape from human traffickers. Stewart-Rhude said one of the things these speakers will make clear is that human trafficking is taking place in Canada. "We can't just blink our eyes and say this isn't here because it is here," she said. "Usually human trafficking is looked at as something that goes on in the Third World, and those who attend the meeting will hear about that, but that is not all. I really want to focus on K a r a s t a n Peerless Carpeting · Buyers Edge Guarantee · 200 Store Buying Power Canada and Ontario and Oakville. It is everywhere and it is here." Beazley quoted an estimate by the RCMP that approximately 600-800 victims are trafficked into Canada each year with 1,500-2,200 people trafficked through Canada into the U.S. Canadian human-trafficking victims, she said, are mostly recruited through the Internet or by an acquaintance with the victims groomed, manipulated and coerced to enter the sex trade. Beazley also pointed to a recent story in a Toronto newspaper, which described Montreal street gangs violently coercing young women from Quebec to work in strip clubs in Ontario. Besides raising awareness, the speakers at the meeting will discuss ways to recognize the presence of human traffickers and ways to combat human trafficking. Stewart-Rhude said the problem would be looked at from a number of different angles. "Stan Burditt, one of his goals is to interrupt the demand for human trafficking," she said. "He is speaking specifically to men because it is the men who are keeping this thing going." Those who plan to attend the meeting are asked to register in advance by May 21 by e-mailing epcinfo@cogeco.net or calling 905-827-0251. Donations will be accepted during the meeting.
