Community members are invited to attend a free human trafficking and safety awareness event on Thursday, May 7 from 6:30–8:30 p.m. at the Active Living Centre
in Huntsville.
Presented by Timea’s Cause Inc., Rotary People of Action Huntsville, Muskoka Victim
Services, Family Connexions, and the District of Muskoka. The event will bring together
youth, parents, and community members for an important educational conversation about
human trafficking, online luring, and prevention.
The evening will feature Timea E. Nagy, a best-selling author, internationally recognized
advocate, and survivor of human trafficking. Since 2009, Nagy has educated more than one million people worldwide, assisted in over 500 police investigations, and supported
hundreds of survivors and their families through her advocacy and outreach work.
While human trafficking may not always be visible within smaller communities, experts note that many regions sit along key transportation corridors and that online luring can occur anywhere. This session aims to provide practical information on recognizing warning signs, understanding how traffickers target victims online, and how awareness can play an
important role in prevention.
“This event is about education and awareness,” organizers say. “By bringing a survivor
educator, community organizations, and residents together, we hope to provide people with
the knowledge they need to recognize risks and help keep our children, youth and community
safe.”
The presentation is designed to be age-appropriate for both youth and adults. Attendees will leave with a better understanding of the warning signs of trafficking, online safety
considerations, and resources available to those who may need support.
The event is free to attend; however, registration is required as seating is limited
