A seven-year study on human trafficking in northern Ontario shows the need to decriminalize sex work among other systemic changes.
Rosemary Nagy, an associate professor at North Bay’s Nipissing University and co-lead of the Northeastern Ontario Research Alliance on Human Trafficking (NORAHT), says one of the most significant findings from her team’s research was the impact anti-human trafficking campaigns have on victims.
“The biggest problem is that it depicts (sexually) trafficked women as passive victims awaiting rescue. It overlooks the really complicated ways in which people come to be trafficked. It overlooks the ways in which women navigate these situations with resiliency and resistance,” Nagy explains.
