Des jeunes femmes asiatiques confinées 24 heures sur 24 dans des salons de massage dans la banlieue de Vancouver, des aides familiales dont les conditions de travail rappellent l'esclavage, de jeunes honduriens illégaux embrigadés pour la vente de drogue, des adolescentes recrutées à des fins de prostitution dans des stations de métro de Montréal ; le documentaire Avenue Zéro trace un portrait troublant du phénomène de la traite de personnes au Canada, la 3e forme de trafic internationalement reconnue après ceux des armes et de la drogue. Dans ce documentaire, victimes et témoins de premier plan nous conduisent aux confins de ce sinistre commerce. Des propos inédits livrés par de superbes images.

In class, define the expression “human trafficking,” and explain the following terms: “recruitment by intimidation,” “abduction,” “abuse of authority,” “exploitation”. . . Point out that household employees, farmhands and factory workers can also be subjected to these abuses. Asking questions about male sexuality would certainly be relevant as well, as it is estimated that 90% of sexual abuse victims are women and children. Is there a legal solution to this problem? Who are the faces of slavery today? What are individual citizens’ responsibilities? What about the civil and human rights of the victims?
