Did you know – in 2007 on February 22nd, the Canadian House of Commons passed a motion condemning the trafficking of women and children across international borders for the purposes of sexual exploitation. In 2021, federal members of Parliament (MP) unanimously agreed on the motion to adopt the day, coinciding with the 2007 declaration as Human Trafficking Awareness Day, to condemn all forms of human trafficking and slavery.
February 22nd provides us all with an opportunity to help bring awareness to the magnitude of modern-day slavery in Canada and abroad and encourage Canadians to take steps to combat human trafficking. If you are interested in having RESET Society speak at a work or social event, please reach out to us at: theresa@resetcalgary.ca about raising awareness in our local community.
