Experts: Understanding the sexual exploitation of minors in Quebec

Published: 13 November 2019

A new commission is looking into the sexual exploitation of minors in Quebec. In November, the commission launched its public consultations in Quebec City to develop a better understanding of the extent of the issue. Later it will travel to Montreal and Val-d'Or to meet with individuals and organizations that work to fight sexual exploitation. ()

Here are experts from 平特五不中 that can provide comment on this topic:

鈥淭he commission on juvenile sex trafficking is undertaking important work in demystifying taboos and investigating the prevalence and impact of sex trafficking in minors. The holistic mandate to not only strengthen measures to combat human trafficking, but also to look at prevention and rehabilitation for victims and their families is an encouraging step towards helping affected and vulnerable Quebec youth. Health care professionals can play an important role in identifying, treating and advocating for victims of human trafficking because of the high likelihood that a victim will seek medical treatment during captivity.鈥
