In August 2023, Aura Freedom organized and hosted a meeting at Toronto City Hall with the UN Special Rapporteur on Contemporary Forms of Slavery, Tomoya Obokata, and a group of more than 50 anti-human trafficking stakeholders and other human rights advocates in Toronto.
We were happy to facilitate this meeting to allow the Toronto anti-human trafficking community to contribute to Mr. Obokata’s country report on Canada, which was published this August. We were also grateful for the Special Rapporteur’s willingness to listen to grassroots voices and community leaders.
