About this event

Increasing rates of sexual exploitation amongst female-identifying and vulnerable youth is a cause for concern. This workshop gives individuals practical tools and information to engage youth towards prevention. Join us in exploring White Ribbon's new educational resource wrprevent.ca, to learn about the root causes, forms, risk factors, and prevention approaches.
