The words human trafficking often conjure up images from movies, of people kidnapped abroad, maybe by strangers. But in fact, it's estimated that 15,000 people are trafficking every single year in Canada. Kayla Yama is the clinical director at Victim Services of Durham Region and Karly Church is a human trafficking survivor who now works in collaboration with police in Ontario to help find and support those trapped in the sex trade.

 

Co-hosted by Melissa Grelo,  Cynthia Loyst, Lainey Lui and correspondent Jess Allen, THE SOCIAL brings a fresh, daily perspective on the up-to-the-minute news, pop culture, and lifestyle topics that matter most to Canadians. 

 

Victim Services supports anyone who identifies as a victim through crisis intervention and connecting victims and survivors to longer term resources and supports. We also provide gender-based violence and human trafficking workshops for service providers and consent and human trafficking prevention workshops for youth.
