Advocacy + Policy with Defend Dignity

Glendyne Gerrard is the director and co-founder of Defend Dignity (dD), a national organization working to end all forms of sexual exploitation in Canada since 2010. She believes that working collaboratively with individuals, government officials, service providers, churches, and non-governmental agencies to address demand will bring an end to sexual exploitation in Canada.

Glendyne answers questions like...

• What needs to change about the way we view sex in North America in order to disrupt demand?

• What pulls people, especially women, into prostitution? Why is it difficult to leave?

• What can an average person do to push for change?
