This organization is doing such great work to help bring awareness to the human trafficking and modern day slavery crisis that exists in our world. I wanted to share some information from our website:
"PACT-Ottawa has many ongoing activities in the realm of public education. We have been funded by the federal government to design and deliver a human trafficking awareness campaign for truck drivers – an occupational group that can be key in identifying instances of trafficking in persons. We have a growing Speakers’ Bureau – a cadre of trained and knowledgeable volunteers who respond to the numerous requests for public speakers. PACT-Ottawa members are able to take advantage of our exclusive lending library. Our signature event each year is the End Slavery Day event, which takes place on December 2nd, the International Day for the Abolition of Slavery.
In the past year, PACT has made an impact:
- 33% of members have benefited from PACT library materials
- THE WALK has reached more than 600 people
- Live! we have presented information about human trafficking to over 1,000 people in our community
- On Air! our message has been broadcast even more widely through radio and television appearances"
