Magdalene House hosting golf tournament to raise funds and awareness of human trafficking
Red Deer’s Magdalene House Society is hoping to attract a few more participants to its fundraiser golf tournament happening next week.
Magdalene House Society assists those who have been exploited through human trafficking, be it sex, labour, marriage or organ.
Executive Director Tammy Rogers says funds raised through the tournament will go towards new education programming starting in September.
“Research shows the average age of recruitment is between 13 and 14-years-old,” she says. “We’ve designed an education program for young people between the ages of 13 and 15 to teach them the signs that recruiters use online to get them interested and they end up becoming victims of human trafficking.”
