The 2010 Winter Olympics and Human Trafficking

This is the information that i found from an article on the Salvation Army website about Human Trafficking and the Winter Olypics 2010.

In B.C. there are already troubles with Human Trafficking. but when the Olympics comes to a place the amount of Human Trafficking doubles. University of British Columbia ( UBC) law professor says "We're talking here about victims of both domestic - Canadians - as well as international victims." The Canadian Religious Conference ( CRC) has made a Education kit for high school students that show what can happen at the 2010 Olymipcs and how they can avoid it. Major Brain Venables "Most of them are Trafficked in hotels and private homes, and theyère accessed through the internet or services that provide these things." Jamie McIntosh "Some of the networks or the routes to traffic historically (used) to traffic drugs, or weapons are now used to traffic human flesh." 1500 - 2000 prostitutes working in Vancouver now! This could and mostly likely will double with the Winter Olympics. Some are as young as 13. Plans by Christians: try to reduce the supply of women and children that fall prey.
