JUST OUTSIDE TORONTO, A FOURTEEN-YEAR-OLD CANADIAN GIRL IS AUCTIONED ON CRAIGSLIST-THIS IS ONLY ONE OF THE HORRIFYING STORIES OCCURRING IN OUR OWN COMMUNITIES. WHAT CAN CANADA DO TO STOP MODERN-DAY SLAVERY? While other countries have been actively protecting victims and prosecuting traffickers for more than a decade, Canada's response to the global problem of human trafficking has been shockingly lethargic. Victims are often left to fend for themselves and their exploiters are rarely charged. Author Benjamin Perrin works with government, police officers, social workers, and survivors to expose this hidden national tragedy. In Invisible Chains, he shares heart rending cases of human trafficking, reveals the tactics used by traffickers, and passionately advocates what we can do to stop it. 'Invisible Chainsis a powerful indictment of human trafficking in Canada.' DEPA MEHTA, FILMMAKER 'Manu Canadians think they are far removed from issues like human trafficking and sexual exploitation. This book proves otherwise by explaining exactly how these types of serious human rights violations occur on a day-to-day basis at home and aboard.' ROMÉO DALLAIRE, LIEUTENANT GENERAL (RET'D), SENATOR 'It's impossible not to be moved by the gut-wrenching yet true stories of human slavery recounted by Perrin.'
