Short excerpt::
The trafficking of humans for sexual purposes is being described as modern day slavery. The US State Department Trafficking in Person's 2008 report ranks Canada as a Tier One country, meaning Canada is a source, transit, and destination country for men, women and children (SIWSAG, 2009). Although not a top destination point for human traffickers, a conservative estimate states that approximately 800 people are trafficked into Canada annually. These people (mostly women and children) are transported into Canada illegally and harboured into bawdy houses and strip clubs across the country. Many of those who are trafficked come from Latin American countries, where the incredible poverty drives many into extreme circumstances where they may fall victim to the promises of economic freedom in the developed world. Mega sporting events, like the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, have been blamed for creating a high demand for prostitutes which ultimately leads to an increase in national and international trafficking.Short excerpt::
