One Victim of Sex Slavery is One Victim Too Many.

Over one hundred and fifty community leaders, academics and parliamentarians gathered at Simon Fraser University's Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue on March 26th, 2009 to examine the reality of human trafficking into sex slavery in Canada.  This meeting was the founding plenary of the Citizens Summit Against Human Trafficking, a historic meeting of minds on the necessity of abolishing sex slavery in Canada.  Here are nine voices from the Summit's founding plenary.
