Niagara is an epicentre for human trafficking, and traffickers exploit people in vulnerable positions, including young children, indigenous women, members of the 2slgbtq plus community, and YWCA.
Imagine the shock of discovering that human trafficking isn't just a distant issue but something happening right in your own community. In this gripping episode of 'Life Unscripted', host Janice Arnoldi dives into the unsettling reality of human trafficking in Niagara, Canada. She reveals how traffickers exploit vulnerable individuals, often bringing victims from the U.S. across the border to Niagara, now a hotspot for such activities. But it's not just international victims; Canadian women and children are also at risk.
The conversation uncovers the harsh truth about the lack of consent in sex work and how anyone, regardless of age or background, can fall prey to traffickers. Janice is joined by Kayla Mayer, who manages a crucial program at YWCA Niagara that includes a safe house for survivors. They discuss how this program offers a lifeline, helping victims transition to treatment, reunite with family, or find independent housing.
This episode also touches on the significant role mental health and addiction play in human trafficking, emphasizing the importance of community support in aiding survivors. If you want to understand the depth of this issue and learn how you can make a difference, this episode is a must-listen.
