Together, we can collaborate to end human trafficking.
In the final episode of Inside Human Trafficking in Canada, we focus on how, as community members and human rights advocates, we can do our part to support victims and survivors. Episode 7 arms us with hands-on solutions to end human trafficking of young people.
Expert Lived Experience Leader 'Mimi' Shamin Brown walks us through what has worked, what still needs to be done, and how we can get there together. Author and Illustrator of ‘I’m an Addict: In Bits & Pieces’, Shamin is a social worker and certified health and life coach with a history of sexual exploitation and sex trafficking. As a Lived Experience Leader, Shamin has participated in the anti-trafficking movement for over 20 years as both a community member and professional, and has worked with at-risk youth for over 15 years. She is passionate about reducing vulnerability to gender-based violence through public awareness and individual support. In addition to serving as a responsible survivor engagement liaison, collaborative artist, performing artist and public speaker, she supports youth and adult females in finding their voice, owning their story, and living their truth.
