SUMMARY:World Day Against Trafficking in Persons 2026
DESCRIPTION:Join us on July 30th for World Day Against Trafficking in Persons\nOn World Day Against Trafficking in Persons\, KnowledgeFlow is committed to enhancing online safety and combating human trafficking. Human trafficking is a growing issue\, with many victims being targeted online as a way for traffickers to access more individuals faster. We often think of human trafficking as something that only happens to people in movies or in intense physical violence scenarios. However\, human trafficking is becoming more and more common\, and can happen to people in their own homes. It’s important to recognize the prevalence of trafficking\, but also that we can’t know the full extent because of underreporting. The hidden nature of the crime and the reluctance of victims and witnesses to come forward to law enforcement contribute to underreporting. Factors contributing to underreporting include fear\, shame\, language barriers\, mistrust of authorities\, and lack of awareness about human trafficking.\nStatistics on Trafficking in Canada:\n\nIn 2021\, Durham Regional Crime Stoppers investigated 336 human trafficking cases.\nOut of these investigations\, 111 victims were identified as being under the age of 18.\nNearly three in ten victims (28%) of police-reported human trafficking in Canada were under the age of 18.\n71% of trafficking victims in Canada are under the age of 25.\nThe average age of trafficked victims is 11-13 years old.\nThe majority of sex trafficking victims are reportedly Canadian-born teenage girls\, some as young as 13.\nDurham Region has been identified as a hotspot for trafficking due to the proximity of municipalities situated on Ontario’s Highway 401.\n\nDiscover ideas on how to protect yourself from online trafficking risks in our blog post: “World Day Against Trafficking in Persons: Securing Your Online Presence Against Trafficking.” Learn practical tips and strategies to keep yourself and your loved ones safe online.\n\nClick here to access the blog post\, which includes additional support resources.\n\nTogether\, let’s stay #UnHackable.
