UNIVERSITÉ DU QUÉBEC À CHICOUTIMI

Published purpose

Université du Québec a Chicoutimi (UQAC) will produce a report based on applied research to identify risk factors and determinants for adolescent entry in the sex trade and to determine the needs and gaps in services. The organization has worked with community partners to evaluate the results of the study to better target and intervene with adolescents involved in or at risk of being involved in the sex trade to enhance services and to make recommendations to government bodies to assist them with development and implementation of policies and effective prevention and intervention programs. UQAC will disseminate its findings at several near future conferences with a number of NGOs and other stakeholders.
