When it comes to charges, Statistics Canada data shows that 125 people were charged in Canada between 2005 and 2012 in incidents in which trafficking in persons was the most serious offence. After nearly a decade, a law designed to catch human traffickers who exploit vulnerable people has netted few charges and even fewer convictions in Canada, anti-trafficking advocates complain. Among those cases, at least nine of the victims were under the age of 18 and two of those 35 cases involved trafficking for forced labour. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
