New Community Focus
Supporting Survivors of Human Trafficking

After a year-long intensive community scan, dialoguing with our League sisters in the GTA and North America, bringing in speakers to educate and raise awareness amongst our members and within the community, the JLHB has now adopted a new Focus Area -  Supporting Survivors of Human Trafficking  

​

Human Trafficking is a modern-day form of slavery and has become a major concern in the Hamilton/Burlington community and throughout Southwestern Ontario.  Traffickers maintain control over their victims through manipulation, threats, and / or the abuse of trust and power.  Victims may be trafficked by someone they know or in some cases, connection is made through social media with a gradual, well executed plan to distance the victim from family and friends.
