While we were working on this project, we realized that there is minimal evidence-based research, because incidents often go unreported. What are the reasons that these survivors or at-risk individuals don't report trafficking? We need to dig deeply. Only then will we be able to get some sort of evidence-based data on human trafficking.
I also feel that immigration status is a big thing. As Jakki mentioned, in the Peel region, we have thousands of international students. Because of their status and the barriers that exist, systemic barriers as well as individual barriers, they often do not feel safe to go out and talk about their situation.
