Rotary - Guelph Wellington Cluster hasn't added a story.
When we hear the words “human trafficking,” we tend to think that this is something that only happens in other countries. Sadly this is not true, and with the 401 highway, this crime is big business right here.
The province of Ontario has been identified as a major hub for sex trafficking, with 75% of Ontario's cases occurring within the Greater Toronto Area
Elora House is an agency that provides short-term housing and support to women exploited by sex trafficking, helping them to make healthy and informed decisions about their lives.
The Rotary Clubs of Guelph and Wellington came together to host a five-part lecture series to create awareness of human trafficking in our community. It can feel overwhelming and we have launched this campaign to offer people something concrete that they can do to support and help the young women survivors who are at Elora House. We ask you to give and be generous.
Each item donated gets directly to Elora House. Please HELP us!
Human trafficking is as much of a problem in Southern Ontario as it is around the world. In Canada, primarily youth between the ages of 12 and 25 are affected. It is the third-largest criminal activity after guns and drugs (according to Crime Stoppers).
While many organizations are working hard to support these survivors, currently, there are very few options for immediate and safe shelter. Elora House was formed to help the survivors of this horrible crime.
The Elora House’s Mission is to provide a safe haven in Guelph/Wellington County area for young individuals identifying as women exploited by sex trafficking. Elora House will provide immediate short-term lodging, food and clothing and support.
Our vision is to not only create an empowering and safe community for survivors but a chance for a new life. A space that allows for transformation and restoration; for the hope of a life free from modern slavery.
