To the people of Ontario:For nine long, horrible years, I was trafficked in the sex industry. In reality, 93 per cent of victims of human trafficking in Canada are Canadian themselves, most often lured, groomed and eventually trafficked by someone they know. This is why I become concerned when I notice the recent glamourization of women being prostituted, making the sex industry seem more enticing. University students are under heightened pressure, and the sex industry is being advertised as a quick, easy way to make money. Casandra Diamond is the founder of BridgeNorth, a York-based charitable organization that supports girls, women and families affected by sex trafficking.
