dc.description.abstractIn this paper, I explore the ways in which the intersection of race, gender, and poverty faced by many Aboriginal women and girls is exploited by “traffickers” in Canada. I discuss how the history of the colonization of Aboriginal peoples by white settlers and the characterization of Aboriginal women as available sexual objects has lead to an inability of the criminal justice system to acknowledge Aboriginal women and girls as victims of all forms of sexual exploitation, including particular types of trafficking in persons, and the consequent exclusion of Aboriginal women from the programs, services, and campaigns designed to provide redress for these crimes. I also discuss how the use of the trafficking paradigm to address the sexual exploitation of Aboriginal women and girls is only one tool in the struggle, and should not be used as a “catch-all” issue within which to address all violence.
