Well, I think I can say it's both, which is probably not the answer you wanted to hear. If we go to why people are willing to put themselves in such vulnerable and risky situations, it's because they don't have options in their country of origin if they're being trafficked internationally. Even within Canada, if they're coming from a rural community into a city and get caught up in the trafficking network, it's because they don't have options where they are, so poverty is probably the deepest cause.
On the prostitution piece, I think we can do something and do something fairly quickly around going after the pimps and the controllers of these women and taking away the criminalization of the prostitutes themselves, because most of those women we know would not put themselves in those situations willingly, consciously, and deliberately. They're there because in their minds there are no other options for them.
Once you've been dehumanized in the process of prostitution, it's very difficult to move out of it unless you have a lot of supports in place to help you do it, so at the international community, action on poverty is absolutely necessary, and within Canada some of the goals that make poverty history both internationally and nationally need to be addressed.
