A delegation of anti-human trafficking organizations is calling on the federal government to increase the action it is taking to counter human-trafficking crimes across Canada, particularly in the country’s rural areas.
“It continues to be a real problem in Canada,” said Margaret Byl, president of the Federated Women’s Institutes of Canada, during a press conference in Ottawa on Feb. 15. “We are asking that the federal government ensure that rural women and children have access to technology, education, transportation, medical and mental health support.”
