End Slavery Day 2010 Event

 End Slavery Day 2010 focuses on the local reality

Event features presentations by the RCMP, the Ottawa Coalition to End Human Trafficking and local performing artists.

The United Nations estimates that between one and four million people are trafficked each year. Even in our city, Ottawa, people are sold into slavery and forced into involuntary labour or sexual exploitation.

December 2 is the UN-designated International Day for the Abolition of Slavery. It commemorates the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade. Since 2008, PACT-Ottawa (Persons Against the Crime of Trafficking in humans) has been marking December 2 as End Slavery Day – a day to raise awareness about modern-day slavery and the steps Canadians can take to stop it.

End Slavery Day 2010 will highlight local Ottawa efforts in combating human trafficking. The Ottawa Coalition to End Human Trafficking will launch a new website to facilitate local networking. The RCMP will address the current situation in Ottawa and their own initiatives. A local Ottawa theatre group, Threshold Players, will present an excerpt of Catherine Cunningham-Huston’s play on sex trafficking which will be staged at the 2011 Ottawa Fringe Festival. An Ottawa based singer-song writer, Jill Zmud, will provide a musical performance which supports the focus of this event. 

End Slavery Day 2010 will also include ample networking opportunities for members of the public and local agencies.

PACT-Ottawa is a registered non-profit organization committed to entrenching the protection of trafficked persons in Canadian law, and to securing the essential services that trafficked persons require to take back control of their bodies and their lives. Our organization’s mission is to network with other groups to prevent the trafficking of persons and to increase the protection of those who have been trafficked. More information about PACT can be found on our website: http://www.pact-ottawa.org/.
