Join us on September 16 at 1pm EDT for the second in a series of webinars organized by the Sexual Exploitation Working Group of the Canadian Council of Churches!
One of the priories of the Commission on Justice and Peace Sexual Exploitation Working Group is to educate, advocate and theologically reflect on the area of Sexual Exploitation and Demand Reduction. True justice requires reducing the demand. The demand for paid sexual services is what fuels sex trafficking. Minimize demand, minimize the need for vulnerable individuals to be exploited to meet the demand.
Our guest speaker, Brian Rae, grew up in North Africa where he developed a heart for justice at a young age, inspiring him to pursue a legal career. After passing the bar exams, Brian chose to set aside his legal career to focus on combating sex trafficking through technology and compassionate care. Now based in Victoria, BC, he leads Buyer Resist, a technology organization dedicated to eliminating the demand for sex trafficking. At the heart of Buyer Resist’s efforts is an artificial intelligence-powered chatbot that intercepts men who are buying sex and guides them toward recovery from sexual addiction and brokenness.
