Is Human Trafficking a problem in your community? Join us for this webinar as it explores the problem in the city of Sarnia-Lambton, Ontario.

Topics covered will include; risk factors, trafficker’s luring strategies, challenges faced by the survivors, gaps in service delivery, strategies on prevention and empowerment for survivors of human trafficking. These research findings were collected from the courageous voices of the survivors and the wisdom of the communities. There will be an opportunity for a Q&A at the end of the session.
