Human Trafficking: What's Going On?

Printer-friendly version

Friday, November 30th @ 7pm
Ryerson University
Ted Rogers School of Management, 55 Dundas St W., 7th floor

The panellists ask: Why has human trafficking become a legal and policy priority in Canada, and with what effects? How have international dialogues shaped Canadian public policy? Why does migration for the purposes of engaging in sexual labour capture the public imagination, while other forms of labour-related migration disappear from discussions of criminal exploitation?

Annalee Lepp (Global Alliance Against Trafficking in Women and the University of Victoria)
Nandita Sharma (University of Hawai’i - Manoa)
