In March 2018, Aura Freedom presented to the Federal Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights for their national human trafficking study. Our recommendations focused on how gender inequality, systemic racism and other root causes perpetuate violence against women and girls and human trafficking. In September 2018, the Canadian Federal Government concluded the study with a summit where Aura Freedom consulted on a new national strategy. In 2019, the Federal Government released its National Strategy To Combat Human Trafficking 2019-2024.
