Children’s Rights

“THE GOVERNMENT MUST PROTECT CHILDREN FROM HUMAN TRAFFICKING.”

- Article 35 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child

Inside Human Trafficking in Canada is back with another episode! This week, Ainsley Krone, Acting Manitoba Advocate for Children and Youth, joins our host Dr. Karlee Sapoznik Evans to share case examples, statistics and system gaps related to human trafficking through a children’s rights lens, discussing how her office is issuing recommendations to move the dial and end this egregious children’s rights violation in Manitoba.

Ainsley worked for 10 years as a Direct Service Youth Worker and Alternative Education Program Developer in British Columbia. She joined the Manitoba Advocate for Children and Youth in 2009 as a Special Investigator. Since then, she was appointed Deputy Advocate in 2017 before being named Acting Manitoba Advocate for Children and Youth in January 2021. Her work focuses on furthering children’s rights and finding creative ways to amplify the voices of young people.
