Clear goals and objectives of the project – clear indications of relevance to the Family Court and Youth Justice Committee mandate: To provide information about Human Trafficking and the sexual exploitation of youth in our community, primarily to policy makers, youth workers, individuals and agencies, through a series of speakers, films, panels and displays. This fits within the mandate of the VFCYJC as it will help deter youth from becoming victims of exploitation and becoming part of the criminal justice system.
Any features of the project you believe are pertinent to this application: This request is to provide funding to assist with refreshments and meal at a day-long workshop.
Will the project dovetail with other similar work? (ie. In the Greater Victoria area or within your organization). Yes, this is part of the ongoing work of CRAT.
