Re: Human Trafficking Educational Session sponsored by The Manitoba Ethnocultural Advisory and Advocacy Council (MEAAC)
MEAAC would like to thank all ethnocultural communities for the progress in promoting of Manitoba’s rich and diverse cultural heritage. As a Council responsible for advising the Minister responsible for Multicultur! alism, on all matters of ethnocultural communities in Manitoba, MEAAC recognizes the impact of Human Trafficking on the multicultural mosaic of families in Manitoba and would like to inform you that as a leader, you are welcome to join other Ethnocultural Community Leaders to a free educational session on Human Trafficking.
Since Canada’s Human Trafficking Law was enacted in the criminal code in 2005, there have been five (5) convictions and twelve (12) outstanding cases according to the Justice Canada representative at the Bill C-268 committee hearings. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development has reported that, Human Trafficking is the third largest grossing sector of organized crime. Your participation in this event will inform you of the need for action as well as introduce you to what you can do as a leader to help prevent Human Traffick! ing from affecting members of your community.
Please find attached a formal invitation to the Human Trafficking Education Session sponsored by MEAAC in order to create awareness on how Human Trafficking impacts on Manitoba’s social and economic fabric and also to provide preventative means to this growing trend. The education session will be held at Caribbean Community Cultural Centre on Saturday, January 22, 2011.
