Sexual exploitation can happen anywhere and to anyone’s child.
About IWIN
IWIN partners with social agencies that support survivors of human trafficking by supplying them with backpacks as they enter a comprehensive education and assistance program. Each backpack contains essentials such as a change of clothes, toiletry items, a journal, a handwritten card and a bracelet. A matching bracelet is given to a prayer warrior to offer spiritual support to the survivor. This initiative has made a meaningful difference in the lives of backpack recipients, prompting IWIN to expand to other provinces.
IWIN also raises awareness about the atrocity of human trafficking with the Red Sand Prayer Service awareness campaign. Participants read aloud a short service and fill sidewalk cracks with red sand, creating art and promoting conversations about human trafficking in Canada.
Did you know?
One of the most common misconceptions about human trafficking is that trafficked people are most often socioeconomically disadvantaged… the reality is that the vulnerability to being trafficked knows no boundaries. Survivors of human trafficking come from a variety of incomes, backgrounds and ethnicities… it happens to people from single parent homes, two parent homes, dual income homes, professional positions, persons battling substance abuse, etc.
