Walk in Winnipeg for a good cause

On Saturday, May 8, 2010, at 12 noon, Canadians will gather at the Manitoba Legislature to participate in a Walk to Stop Human Trafficking. If you are from Winnipeg or know someone in that city, please send them this information so they can attend if possible. There have been many women and young girls who have gone missing over the past few decades in Manitoba. Most of them were from First Nation reserves and a large majority of these victims were victims of human trafficking and sexual exploitation.

MP Joy Smith has been diligent, alongwith the org. Canada Fights Human Ttrafficking to rid this scourge from our land and also to bring awareness of this plague to as many people as possible all over Canada. The "Walk in Winnipeg" event is organized in coordination with local women’s groups, First Nations groups, NGOs, and faith based communities. Grand Chief Ron Evans from the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs will be a guest speaker. Following the walk, attendees will see a presentation by former victims of human trafficking.
