www.insideHALTON.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Thursday, April 7, 2016 | 26 Human trafficking topic of forum Clinical psychologist Smita Singh, who specializes in studying human trafficking, will speak about her efforts to save young women and girls in India from lives in the sex trade during a presentation at Sheridan College Saturday (April 9). The event begins at 7 p.m., and will be hosted by the Sanctuary Church, which meets in the Marquee at the Trafalgar Road campus. Singh is the director of Mahima Care Homes, a ministry partner of Partners International Canada, which focuses on ensuring that victims of human trafficking are reintegrated back into society with their self-worth restored. She works to provide counselling, vocational training and education for those who have been rescued from brothels in Sonagachi, Asia's largest red-light district, located in Kolkata, India. There is no shortage of need for Singh's work. Sonagachi is home to an estimated 20,000 sex workers and has become an environment that allows the trafficking of under-age girls. Partners International Canada is a Christian not-for-profit specializing in holistic and longterm sustainable international development. The group works with many ministry partners around the world to help those in need.
