Canada Adopts New Measures to Help Trafficking Victims, Pt. 2

In an addendum to last week's post Canada Adopts New Measures to Help Trafficking Victims we learn that The Future Group, a Canadian anti-trafficking NGO has recently released a report "Falling Short of the Mark" (opens as PDF), a 40-page study that gives Canada a failing grade for failing to provide temporary residence to victims to recover from their ordeals, and a lack of even basic medical services to them. This report in conjuction with the UN Report Trafficking in Persons: Global Patterns, spurred the Canadian government to enact these new laws that would protect trafficking victims.

For those of you avid blog-readers out there, The Future Group has an anti-trafficking blog: read it here.
