❄️#WinterBreak is approaching, but #HumanTrafficking doesn't take a break.
🚨 Traffickers use various approaches like posing as a friend, contacting through social media, or even making fake job offers.
💬 It's crucial to talk to your kids about this to #EndHumanTrafficking.

Today, December 6th, is the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. Today we remember and honor those whom we have lost to gender-based violence, and speak up against the injustice and victimization still experienced by women and girls across the globe.

On #Dec6, with the rest of #Canada, we remember the 14 women's lives lost in 1989. #MontrealMassacre

And we remember the 1,000s of women and girls lost since and who we continue to lose, including the 169 women and girls in 2023 so far.

Happy Halloween from all of us at Manitoulin Northshore Victim Services! Be sure to be cautious while trick-or-treating. Stick to well-known areas, watch for traffic, and wear bright/reflective materials.

We hope that everyone has a safe Halloween with lots of treats! 🎃🍬

[Manitoulin Northshore Victim Services @mnvsinfo]

A costume can never imply or express consent for someone, no matter the style, coverage, material, etc. Everyone should be able to enjoy dressing up in a costume that is comfortable and creative for them without worry.

We hope that everyone has a safe and enjoyable weekend! 🎃

[Manitoulin Northshore Victim Services @mnvsinfo]

Attention! 🚨 Unfortunately, we have had to postpone our Annual General Meeting, which was scheduled for October 24th.

We will update when we have confirmed the new date. Thank you everyone for your understanding.

[Manitoulin Northshore Victim Services @mnvsinfo]

It is okay to take a break just because you need one. You don't need to "earn" your rest or self-care by taking on extra work. Rest is necessary to be healthy, happy, and productive. 😴

[AntiHumanTrafficking @StopTrafficking]

Human traffickers will often:
🔴target young people based on vulnerabilities
🔴act like a friend or boyfriend to gain a person’s trust
🔴seek to gain control over victims by isolating them from friends & family
