Joy Smith Foundation launches PSA to fight sex trafficking

A new campaign by former Winnipeg MP Joy Smith aims to raise awareness of sex trafficking in Canada.

• Human traffickers going unpunished in Canada, experts say
• Buying sex is not a sport: anti-exploitation campaign launched before Grey Cup
• Soroptimists bring warning about human trafficking to Saskatoon

The Joy Smith Foundation launched a public service announcement video on Tuesday, urging people to share it with the social media hashtag #ShesNotForSale.

About 93 per cent of sex trafficking victims in Canada are Canadian, and the victims — including girls as young as 13 years old — are exploited up to 15 times a day, according to the foundation.
