Having attended 2 human trafficking events this past week, I've learned and want to pass on some of the news stories that I heard. This is not old news - all of it is from just over a week's time - and if you have not heard about some of these stories, then the various facets of media are not doing their job. I myself had not heard about the story from Hamilton and it serves as a reminder - human trafficking is not about moving just women around other countries beyond Canada. This story involves trafficked men, brought into Canada from Hungary.
