Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I'd like to thank the witnesses for their testimony.
Ms. Wesley, Stella has been a recognized organization for over 25 years now, I believe. I think the rights of sex workers are now acknowledged, as well as the fact that they need to be protected.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but on the trafficking of women, you were saying earlier that there are no young girls among sex workers.
That may be, but the International Labour Organization is increasingly looking at the issue of child victims of trafficking. A reported 34% of victims are children. When we talk about trafficking, we're not talking about children who have chosen to be sex workers. We're talking about trafficking. By the way, migrant children are very vulnerable to human trafficking or types of exploitation that can be sexual, labour or panhandling, as well as organ harvesting or being exploited to serve as soldiers.
Human trafficking is a reality. I understand there's a distinction between the sex trade and human trafficking, but do you acknowledge the existence of the things I've raised?
