Last week in Kuujjuaq, Makivvik hosted a regional workshop to combat human trafficking. We’d like to acknowledge the participants’ presence, engagement, and willingness to share their perspectives and help create a safe and meaningful space for honest and productive dialogue. This first Anti-Human Trafficking workshop was only the beginning of a journey and we are committed to continuing our efforts to create spaces for strong dialogue and collaboration between individuals, families, and organizations; to identify solutions to the issues being faced; and to work together towards lasting and meaningful change for Nunavimmiut, both in Nunavik and in the South.
Makivvik also wishes to thank all partners, organizations who contributed to the workshop, speakers, Elders, community members, frontline workers, and contributors whose collaboration made this workshop possible. Nakurmiik, and we look forward to moving forward together.
