In answer to how men can be involved in the issue, it's an uncomfortable issue for men, because it's predominantly men who create the demand. It's therefore an ethical issue that men have to look at.
Any amount of education that could be directed that way would be helpful. A lot of it has to do with biases towards women, and specifically biases towards trafficked women. I don't want to single out the police force, but I believe it's mostly composed of men. They need to look at trafficked women not as hookers or streetwalkers; they need to acknowledge the fact that these women have been enslaved and shouldn't be confused with criminals. This can only happen through education anywhere that we can accomplish it.
I challenge many of you to go up to the average police officer, if he's writing you a parking or a speeding ticket, and ask him what he knows about trafficking. My experience has been that it's very little.
Again, it's an ethical and religious issue, and I do agree with Ms. Matte's mention of the Swedish model, which does criminalize the user. Of course, we have john school as part of Streetlight Support Services. We're not sure how effective that is, but at least it places some onus on the user for rehabilitating himself.
