Blog: How will human trafficking ever be stopped?
Children, sold and forced into servitude. Girls and young women abducted, "broken", and then used as sex slaves within exploitation networks that span the globe. Multiple wounds and trauma, the unforgettable pain and despair.
In the mid-1980's, I volunteered to help start a local chapter of the Allilance for the Safety of Prostitutes (ASP) in Montreal. The idea was to gather from those working the streets, descriptions of violent customers, complete with car make and colour, plate number, what they wore, recognizable features, etc. These were then compiled, typed up and distributed as the weekly "Bad Trick Sheet", along with tips on how to watch out for each other. In time, the work was taken up by women activists, and then by self-described "whoreganizers".
Using a surveillance team within brothels to rescue trafficked girls
A local-level association of sex workers utilizes a surveillance team from within a sex brothel to watch for and prevent the trafficking of under-aged girls. When the surveillance team composed of senior inmates sees a suspicious activity occurring, they try to obtain background information from the under-aged girl. The surveillance team then notifies the sex workers’ association. Based on that information, the association sends a trusted person to the girl’s parents’ or relatives’ house and notifies them of the whereabouts of their daughter.
