 Hi, I'm Mike Farnworth, the Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General for British Columbia. March the 5th marks the beginning of BC's 20th annual Stop the Sexual Exploitation of Children and Youth Awareness Week. It's a time to recognize the importance of supporting communities in developing prevention, education, enforcement, and intervention strategies to address this crime. I want to highlight two opportunities for you during this week. On March the 6th, you can join the annual rally in Abbotsford to raise the profile of this issue. And on March 8th, there's a free event for youth in Vancouver. There you can take part in two workshops, one focused on keeping oneself safe from sexual exploitation, and another that looks at changing the attitudes and behaviors that promote this unacceptable and criminal activity. I want to thank the Fraser Valley and Vancouver community action teams for arranging these events. As well, I want to recognize partner agencies like the Children of the Street Society, whose decades of dedication and expertise continue to help young people prevent sexual exploitation, stop abusers, and hold them accountable. Our government is putting emphasis on delivering services people can count on, and that very much includes children and youth. We continue to support police teams focused on preventing sexual exploitation, as well as the many local organizations serving young survivors and helping them to heal. I hope you'll consider how you can help to keep the young people in your life and in your community safe from exploitation that can have a devastating and lasting impact on their lives. And to be clear, if you're aware of a young person who may be experiencing sexual exploitation, don't take matters into your own hands. Call 911 immediately. Thank you.
