As of the end of July over $185,000 has been raised through Compassion in Action: Stop the Traffic events. Your donations to Compassion in Action will fund prevention, rescue and reintegration initiatives in Ukraine, Ethiopia, Cambodia, Costa Rica and in Calgary, Alberta. With still more than 20 groups yet to hold their Stop the Traffic event we hope to raise over $300,000 to help victims and those at risk of being trafficked.
In late 2010, once all the funds have been raised, monies will be divided up and sent to our five partner organizations to fund their projects.
Stopthetraffic.ca will continue to be your source for information on how funds are being used and to hear stories about how your gift has helped change the lives of those living in modern day slavery. |

This year the RCMP estimate that up to 1000 Canadians will become victims of Human Trafficking and that does not include those who are transported through Canada to other destinations or those who are brought to Canada from other countries in order to be exploited.
