RE: Human Trafficking: Do No Harm six-part webinar series
Do No Harm: A Fresh Perspective on Anti-Human Trafficking Work
A weekly six-part webinar series beginning Tuesday, March 23 and recurs on Tuesday each week until April 30
Do No Harm brings forward voices of survivors, frontline workers, and other experts to help us tackle blind spots and tensions within anti-human trafficking work. It discovers new best practices for undertaking this work rooted in solidarity and anti-oppression.
Who should register: Community workers, healthcare professionals, advocacy agencies, lawmakers, law enforcement, or others working with trafficked persons or doing anti-human trafficking advocacy. Sign up and listen to those voices.
Register at www.cnee.ca
Certificate of completion will be issued to those who complete the series.
The series begins Tuesday, March 23. It reveals how groups often hurt by anti-human trafficking work include:
Survivors of sexual exploitation: Migrant sex workers: Migrant workers in other sectors:
“When it comes to finding solutions to end trafficking and sexual exploitation, the survivor’s voice is vital in establishing effective and comprehensive strategies that advance prosecution, protection, and prevention efforts.”
- Rhonelle Bruder, Founder and Executive Director, Project iRISE “Butterfly has over 200 Asian and migrant sex workers already facing lots of harassment from law enforcement: tickets from officers, being arrested, and even being kicked out of Canada. Open your eyes and understand anti-human trafficking work critically ”
- Elene Lam, Founder, Butterfly: Asian and Migrant Sex Workers Support Network “Exploited migrant workers are often told that their experiences are not severe enough to amount to human trafficking, leaving them without support or protection.”

REFUGEE BAG PROJECT
As you know, the Refugee Bag Project is now being managed by St. Joseph's Basilica CWL Council.
Due to the restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Council would prefer that monetary donations be provided rather than the physical items usually requested. Their team will use the donations to purchase items for the Refugee Bags. Please include your donations on the Parish Remittance Form http://www.edmontoncwl.org/reports-and-forms.html
