A rally was held today in Terrace to spread awareness regarding pedophilia and human trafficking.
Organizers of the event are looking to spread awareness about child exploitation. The topic is taboo and organizers are holding the peaceful protest in an attempt to bring more awareness to the topic.
Stephen Burton, organizer of the rally wants kids to be able to talk about it if they are a victim of a sexual assault. He also says it should be public knowledge who these individuals are that commit these assaults.
In a 2014 report it’s estimated that profits from human trafficking are roughly $150 billion a year for the traffickers. On the Government of Canada’s Website it says, that the United Nations has estimated that this illegal activity generates approximately $32 billion (US) annually for its perpetrators.
