As part of its Fall Online Series, the BC Métis Federation is hosting three discussions about keeping children and youth safe from online predators. In this first discussion, we will cover what “sexual exploitation” means, and how technological advances over the past 15-20 years have led to an increase in sexual exploitation charges.

This discussion will also help identify which risk factors make children and youth vulnerable to sexual exploitation, and what the impacts of sexual exploitation are.

The event will take place via Zoom on Thursday, November 7 from 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm. Everyone is welcome. If you plan to participate, please contact Danielle Desjarlais via email at D.Desjarlais@BCMetis.com to register. After you register, you will be provided with the Zoom link.

This event is being led by Lisa Armstrong, BCMF Director of Child, Youth, & Family. Watch for more events this fall that are a part of the BC Métis Federation’s online fall series on Child, Family, & Youth topics.
