Abstract

Over the last decade, the problem of sex trafficking has become an alarming global concern. Reports suggest that half of active cases of sex trafficking involve female children and youth. This paper considers the mental health impact of sex trafficking on illegalized female trafficked youth under the age of 29 who live in Canada without legal immigration status. It will draw on a qualitative research, including individual interview and survey questionnaires, to explore the lived conditions and mental health outcomes of illegalized trafficked youth in the Greater Toronto Area. Sex trafficking is a gender and human rights violation, as well as a total control over an individual's body, sexuality, and livelihood. Trafficking negatively impacts the social determinants of health and mental health of trafficked persons. This paper provides three recommendations to improve mental health conditions of illegalized trafficked youth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to review and evaluate policies designed to create gender equality in Canada over roughly the past 30 years with a view to determining what impact, if any. they have had on the status of women. After considering 29 indicators, and noting some of their advantages and disadvantages, it is concluded that all things considered, there is more evidence of improvement than of deterioration in the status of women, including more evidence of progress toward gender equality, since the 1970 Report of the Royal Commission on the Status of Women in Canada.
