The Episcopal Commission for Justice and Peace, part of the bishops association, says that groups involved in the struggle against human trafficking are worried that the Olympics could provide an opportunity for people who prey on the vulnerable to make money.
“The fact is that at some major sporting events, systems are often put in place to satisfy the demand for paid sex. Unfortunately, this is likely to be the case during the Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver,” the bishops say in a letter released Wednesday.
“As pastors of the Catholic Church in Canada, we denounce human trafficking in all its forms, whether it is intended for forced labour (domestic, farm or factory work) or for sexual exploitation (whether it be prostitution, pornography, forced marriages, strip clubs, or other). We invite the faithful to become aware of this violation of human rights and the trivialization of concerns about prostitution,” the letter said.
