Yes, definitely. First and foremost, it was designed and led by survivors. We went to the women who are the experts on this issue. They've designed and developed the entire strategy. It's a survivor-led strategy within the province.
It was comprehensive: We included everybody in our engagements. We engaged with service providers. We engaged with community members and survivors of human trafficking. That's the approach we took, which is recognizing that they know what's best. They know where the gaps are and what's needed.
We created our “Journey to Safe Spaces” report. Our report really is that road map of what survivors have said that they needed. We share our report freely. It's on our website; anybody can access our report.
You can really see that what's in there is how to create a safe space strategy where you need to have barrier-free access to programming and services. You need to create systemic change. You need to be able to address this issue from a policy level, an education level, a service level—from every level. It's across departments and across ministries because the issue is so intersectional with so many different issues. It's not just dealing with a “one bad man” type of thing.
Here in Canada, it really is that the sexualization of indigenous women and girls is so normalized in our communities and our behaviour that the trafficking of our children continues. We have to be able to break down that normalization.
How you do it is through comprehensive investments that will actually meet the need through long-term, sustainable funding.
