Julia champions collective action, cultivating spaces for connection, shared learning, and capacity building. Under her leadership, the Centre has become a catalyst for cross-sector partnerships, uniting survivors, governments, non-profits, and private sector leaders in the fight to end all forms of human trafficking. Her work is grounded in a deep belief in the power of inclusive dialogue and community-led change.
Hennes Doltze – Hennes is the Project Leader of EmpowerMen, which is a part of Manitoba’s Ma Mawi Wi Chi Itata Centre. With a background in non-profit management and social work, he founded EmpowerMen in 2022 to engage men and boys to help confront s*xual exploitation and s*x trafficking, inviting them to become part of the solution rather than fueling the problem. EmpowerMen activates men and the wider community through youth workshops, community training, online engagement, public and sector-specific events, corporate relationship building, and research projects.
We look forward to connecting with you!
