If there’s a cause that seems fairly simple to rally behind, it would be efforts to combat human trafficking. “One of the biggest issues that we’re facing as a national organization is the level of misunderstanding when it comes to human trafficking in Canada,” says Julia Drydyk, the executive director of the Canadian Centre to End Human Trafficking. Isn’t raising awareness of human trafficking a good thing? “While such incidents do occur in the realm of human trafficking, it’s important to recognize that they do not represent the majority,” the website notes. Anyone looking to access resources can contact the Canadian Human Trafficking Hotline, which operates confidentially, 24/7 and in multiple languages at 1-833-900-1010.
