International students are being sexually exploited,
trafficked, says Brampton mayor
Speaking at a press conference, Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown said sexual exploitation and sex trafficking happens “in plain sight.”
“Today, the City of Brampton is saying very clearly, we want to zone in on this cancer within our society and our country to combat human trafficking,” Brown said.
The announcement marks the first time the issue has been formally acknowledged by any level of government despite student advocacy groups and local social services providers sounding the alarm for the last few years.
As I have mentioned many times, the Trudeau government has done absolutely nothing to combat the spectacular rise in the many forms of child sexual abuse. Nothing in 9 years.
Young, vulnerable international students, especially women, who live in Brampton are falling prey to exploitative landlords, employers, and romantic partners, who force them to engage in sexual acts, front-line service providers told Brampton city councillors.
