Carleton Enrichment Mini-Course Program 2013

From May 6th to May 10th, 2012 members of PACT-Ottawa are teaching a one week course to youth from across the national capital region as part of the Enrichment Mini Course Program (EMCP) at Carleton University.  Our course is entitled People for Sale?!  Understanding & Challenging Modern Day Slavery.  For more general information about the program, please click here.

Course Description

You thought slavery was abolished more than 200 years ago.  You were right.  Yet there are about 27 million slaves in the world today. That's almost the population of Canada, living in situations of severe labour or sexual exploitation ... or both.  Learn what it is like to be a slave in 2013, in Canada and around the world.  Research the economic and social causes of trafficking in persons, a modern form of slavery.  Become an international lawyer for a day and see what the law says about modern slavery.  Learn about the roles of law enforcement and social services in helping trafficked persons.  And find out what you can do in your own community to stop human trafficking.

  2. What Tier is the country in (i.e. how has the US Department of State evaluated the country's efforts to combat human trafficking) for the year 2012? 2011? earlier years?  Can you discern a trend?
  3. What is the most prevalent type of human trafficking in the country?
