BUYING SEX IS NOT A SPORT
panel coming to Toronto
STOP HUMAN TRAFFICKING
As our nation is getting excited about the Olympic Games approaching in February 2010, many people are grieving the horrors that will take place during the 2010 Games. Large sporting events attract human traffickers, as they know there will be great opportunities to make huge money from (mainly) men who buy sex.
I have been contracted to organize a panel discussion that will address how buying sex supports human trafficking, and the reality of what takes places to prostituted women and children. I want to personally invite you to come to one of the panels, this is a HUGE injustice in our world, and it is time that we become aware of, as Artist and Director Justin Dillon states, the "world's 27 million darkest secrets."
Human Trafficking is the fastest growing crime on the planet today, and our nation, Canada needs to be a leader and an example to the world to join the movement to STOP Human Trafficking and the exploitation of people around the world.
This is not a Christian issue, a Muslim, Jewish, Sikh, Hindu, Agnostic, or Atheist issue, it is not a black or white issue, nor is it a conservative or liberal, Canadian or Indian issue, this is not just a male or female issue...this is GLOBAL HUMAN ISSUE, and if you happen to fall in that category, it should demand your attention; but further it should compel our hearts, minds and souls to learn more and take action against this injustice. I urge you to come to the panel January 30th and/or February 1st at 8pm.
As a nation, it is my heart to see Canadians take a firm stance to tell the world that Canada will not tolerate the sexual exploitation against women and children.
*There are 27 million people in slavery today,
more than double the African Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade.
*70% of people trafficked are for the purpose of sexual exploitation.
*80% are women and children.
I believe that the abolition of slavery can end within 25 years, but it will require millions of voices to unite together on this issue.
I invite you to come to hear why we need your voice!

Buying Sex Is Not a Sport is a grassroots campaign to raise awareness and effect change around sex trafficking and the 2010 Olympic games. The demand for sexual access to the bodies of women and children fuels human trafficking. Women and children in Metro Vancouver and Whistler are routinely coerced into the flesh trade to meet this demand, and a large sporting event such as the 2010 Olympics will only further exploitation through a rise in the demand for paid sex. Demand is an issue we have already flagged in Canada and have been working against for years.

The very workings of human trafficking are a market-based model of supply and demand. There is an uncontrolled male demand for sexual access to the bodies of women (and children) and the supply for this demand is met through violating the dignity of women. It is our conviction that in order to stem the tide of human trafficking we must end the demand for paid sex. Demand flourishes in an atmosphere of anonymity.
This campaign will spread the message broadly through community-based public forums, postering campaigns, t-shirts, buttons and your creative ideas.
