Despite the inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG), the final report Reclaiming Power and Place, and the 231 Calls to Justice, the human trafficking of Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit people does not receive the public attention it deserves. Silenced and Stolen Human Trafficking Awareness Project is a programme involving a group of Indigenous youth leaders that are working to understand the trafficking of Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit people in a safe and trusting space. They will be using what they learn to a create youth-friendly, culturally relevant social media campaign to raise awareness about human trafficking.
Silenced and Stolen has been made possible by support from British Columbia’s Civil Forfeiture Crime Prevention and Remediation Grant Program.
