Sexual Exploitation Week of Awareness: Official Launch and Proclamation
The Sexual Exploitation Week of Awareness in Edmonton runs March 7-11, 2011.
When: Mar 07, 2011, at 12:00 pm
What: Amarjeet will proclaim the week on behalf of Mayor Mandel and City Council. Sexual exploitation is taking selfish or unfair advantage of any person for sexual purposes or gain. It happens in Edmonton, and it affects us all. The events during the week of awareness recognize that there are many persons -- children and adults, men and women and trans-identified people -- who experience sexual exploitation. The events focus on human trafficking; sexual exploitation and the law; sexual minority groups; cultural community groups; and the Prostitution Offender Program.
The events are organized by the Sexual Exploitation Working Group of Edmonton, a collaboration of REACH Edmonton, City of Edmonton Community Services and community organizations.
For details about the week of awareness, please visit the events calendar at www.REACHedmonton.ca. This week asks us all to inform and empower ourselves to combat sexual exploitation in our city.
Where: NewCap Stage, Phase IV, West Edmonton Mall
Admission: free
