UBC Alumni Affairs
Human trafficking has become a world-wide problem. From prostitution and forced labour to the sale of individuals for their organs, the market for human slaves seems inexhaustible. What is the extent of human trafficking in Canada? Where do the traffickers find their victims, and how do they operate? Can legislation have an impact on the proliferation of human trafficking? What are the implications of legalizing prostitution? Join fellow alumni, donors and friends and leading UBC and community experts for this provocative dialogue in Ottawa and find out if putting a stop to human trafficking is realistic.
