Meet The Traffik Report Collective as we launch fearless conversations speaking truth to power on sex and labour trafficking in Canada. We are former sex workers, trafficking survivors, front-line workers and advocates. We are Indigenous, Black, racialized, and white. We identify with many ethnicities and class backgrounds. We encompass many gender identities, expressions and sexual orientations. Our ages span four decades. We live and work in rural, remote and urban settings across Canada. For the past five years, we’ve unlearned, learned, cried and, especially, laughed together as we’ve brought a feminist, anti-racist and anti-colonial lens to combatting sex, race and labour exploitation. In this episode, we talk about why we came to this work; why we’ve started a podcast on human trafficking even as we challenge that label, and why we want to move past the stereotypes, polarization and easy explanations to dig in where the real conversations begin.
