Native Canadian Community fighting against sex trafficking by Ashley Mendoza

   In Canada indigenous people are more likely to be kidnapped for sex trafficking in Canada than any other group. And because they are often targeted by human(sex) traffickers, they make up over 50%  of Canada's (human trafficking) victims. However, they're are people who are trying to prevent this and bring awareness on the issue. The program within the Norway House Cree Nation(located on a small reserve in northern Manitoba, Canada) are people who believe that talking about the subject will encourage families to warn their children about the dangers and properly talk to them about the subject.
    These children are seen as sitting ducks mostly because indeginous people came from other places and the small reserves are usually isolated. They are also easy to spot, for reserves tend to have only one store of a certain brand making them stand out a bit to traffickers.
         I feel like these people are really trying to change their way of of life as well for others. They want everyone to be aware of these kinds of things, so that someday human trafficking will be a thing of the past.

  1. I fully agree to your opinion I hope we can make human trafficking a thing of the past and honestly think this is so significant because sometimes innocent lives are taken by not being aware of their surroundings.
