Lunch & Learn: Canada’s Sexual Exploitation Laws: What’s at Stake?
Kathy King (www.missingcara.ca) and Kate Quinn (www.ceasenow.org) provided a global overview of how different countries approach criminalization, legalization and the Equality Model. We addressed root causes of sexual exploitation and sex trafficking and the multiple impacts. This topic was very timely because the federal Justice Committee is hearing presentations in February – March about whether to remove all laws (total decriminalization) or to maintain Canada’s version of the Equality Model.
