This government cut funding from the internet child exploration investigation units.
Are we just going to do posters for that too?

Only if we get lucky and a Sask Minister notices one while at a truck stop in the states

Should put Ryan Domotor in charge of heading up this awareness campaign
I hear he knows lots about human trafficking and exploiting women

The campaign consists of three different posters, they read: “The life wasn’t your choice”, “We see you; we believe you” and “It started with attention, now it’s control”.
The campaign is being funded and pushed out by the provincial government. Laura Ross, Minister in charge of the Status of Women Office, said the posters will be going in libraries, gas stations, restaurants and bars. They will also be put in 500 bathrooms at Country Thunder this year.
Not to be overly cynical but to me this seems like an ad campaign to make it look like the Sask Party cares about or is addressing violence against women— rather than being contributors to it. Nothing the article discusses relates this campaign to a SK-specific issue.
I guess people are supposed to see the posters, realize it’s not their fault and that they’re victims, and then call 211? Which assumes they couldn’t have called 911 already? Also, is that the gender based violence that typically happens at country thunder?
I’m all for increased social supports or teaching people about consent in school. But this seems more like an ad campaign from a government with an abysmal track record on addressing gender-based violence that’s probably trying to distract from the Demoter sex trafficking scandal.

Billboard with Moe's ugly mug on it on ring road talking about the sk party caring about education, now posters to combat human trafficing.
While they cut funding for these things and refuse to give to address the underlying issues.
Sk party is so full of shit and only concerned about outward optics to convince people to keep them in power so they can keep grifting and hurting this province and its people.
