Sioux Lookout, ON – The Sioux Lookout Municipal Airport is excited to announce a new partnership with #NotInMyCity to identify and put an end to sexual exploitation and sex trafficking here in Canada.
The commitment from the airport will include staff involvement in learning and training courses to identify the signs of human trafficking, and awareness campaigns throughout the organization.
Airport Manager, Ben Hancharuk, says, “We understand the need for organizations like #NotInMyCity and are happy to add our support to their growing network of airport partners. Every opportunity to reduce or prevent sexual exploitation and trafficking is one we need to take advantage of.”
Human trafficking is one of the fastest-growing crimes in Canada, and 93% of reported victims are Canadians being trafficked domestically. Often, these cases go unnoticed and unreported due to manipulation, fear, threats from traffickers, shame, language barriers, or mistrust of authority.
“#NotInMyCity is proud to partner with Sioux Lookout Municipal Airport in the fight against human trafficking and sexual exploitation”, said Paul Brandt, country music star and founder of #NotInMyCity. “We all have a voice and the power to share the message that child sexual exploitation and trafficking is wrong and won’t be tolerated.”
Members of the public are invited to learn more about the issue of human trafficking throughout Canada by take a free e-learning course found at notinmycity.ca/learn.
