Public Education & Awareness
A major part of BridgeNorth's purpose is public education on the subject of human trafficking and sexual exploitation. We find that many people in Canada don't know much about the sex industry, or even think much about it at all. The only way to end sexual exploitation in Canada is to educate as many people as possible about how harmful it really is, not just to the women and girls caught up in it but to our entire society.
These are some of the questions we try to answer:
BridgeNorth works to raise public awareness of these issues. In particular, we seek to educate medical professionals, teachers, and others who are likely to come into contact with human trafficking victims so that they can identify the signs and provide the appropriate assistance for these individuals.
The more people are aware of the circumstances, risk factors, and harms of the sex trade industry, the less power that industry will hold. This is the way to end the sex industry here in Canada.
