L'autorité aéroportuaire Prince George lance le programme de sensibilisation à la traite des êtres humains #NotInMyCity à YXS

Prince George, BC – On February 20, the Prince George Airport Authority (PGAA) proudly launched #NotInMyCity’s human trafficking awareness program at YXS, marking a significant step in raising awareness and supporting the fight against human trafficking and sexual exploitation.

As part of this initiative, passengers traveling through YXS will notice the universal symbol of #NotInMyCity, a yellow rose, prominently displayed throughout the terminal. This emblem serves as a powerful reminder of the urgent need to disrupt, prevent, and ultimately end human trafficking in all its forms.

#NotInMyCity est une organisation facilitatrice, lancée en juillet 2017 et défendue par Paul Brandt, qui se consacre à la sensibilisation et à la conduite d'actions pour mettre fin à la traite des êtres humains et à l'exploitation sexuelle dans divers secteurs, notamment les transports, l'hôtellerie et au-delà.

“We are proud to partner with #NotInMyCity as an ally in the fight against human trafficking and exploitation,” said Sabrina Angus, Interim President and CEO of the Prince George Airport Authority. “At the Prince George Airport, we are steadfast in our commitment to ensuring the safety, security, and well-being of everyone who passes through our airport. This partnership underscores our dedication to fostering a safe and welcoming environment for all.”

Human trafficking is one of the fastest growing crimes in Canada, and 93% of reported victims are Canadians being trafficked domestically. Globally, 98% of sex trafficking victims are women and girls. 26% of human trafficking victims in Canada are under the age of 18. Indigenous Peoples make up 4% of Canada’s population, but account for more than 50% of trafficking victims in the country.

Ni ici, ni nulle part, #NotInMyCity.

“Airports continue to be an important partner for #NotInMyCity, and we have been continuing to build our network of transportation allies across the country who are committed to helping to end human trafficking and sexual exploitation,” says Paul Brandt, Founder of #NotInMyCity. “We are hearing successful stories of airports being able to help support survivors during a critical time of need, because they now know what to do and what to look for. I applaud the Prince George Airport Authority for taking this important step forward.”
