Celebrating 11 Years of Canada’s Nordic Model

This is the recording from our recent livestream to mark 11 years since the Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act (PCEPA) became law in Canada.

The discussion featured:

  • Andrea Heinz and Kathy King, co-authors of When Men Buy Sex: Who Really Pays?

  • Michelle Abel, Vice President for Children and Youth & Global Affairs, National Council of Women of Canada

  • Liz John-West, Executive Director, CEASE (Centre to Empower All Survivors of Exploitation & Trafficking)

  • Linda MacDonald and Jeanne Sarson, co-founders of Persons Against Non-State Torture

Speakers reflected on the impact of PCEPA since its adoption, shared observations from anniversary events held in Ottawa, and outlined what further measures are needed to strengthen Canada’s response to sexual exploitation and trafficking.

The episode provided updates on policy outcomes, community initiatives, and the continuing challenges in preventing exploitation and supporting those affected.

It was moderated by Elly Arrow.
