We’ve been monthly donors for about 2 years and were motivated by the cause – to end sexual exploitation in Canada. One of the early Awareness forums really impacted my wife and me to get involved. Being a monthly partner with Defend Dignity enables us to join the cause in making a difference and having an impact in our country.
I began supporting Defend Dignity on a monthly basis in 2013, when an awareness event was held in my city. As soon as I heard what they were doing, I wanted to be a part of it.
The work that dD does in helping bring freedom to those caught in sexual exploitation is most compelling to me. That there are local hotels in our area that are regularly being used for these purposes is particularly disturbing. Defend Dignity is one of the vehicles for setting captives free. It is worth the investment!
I’ve been a monthly donor for 4 years. I really felt in my heart that this was something worth supporting. If you feel a calling to help out a cause by helping to support financially, it’s actually a reasonably easy way to have a positive impact on the world, since by supporting people who are dedicated to doing this work you are also fighting for the cause.
My husband and I started giving to Defend Dignity 1 year ago. Although we have given one-time donations for specific campaigns, I felt it was important to give monthly in order to aid the sustainability of their significant work. I especially like their focus on decreasing demand through education, awareness, and law reform/advocacy. Their Reveal Conference on the harms of pornography, and the subsequent Choose Change Campaign, targeting organizations that promote violent sexual images, are both especially worthwhile.
Thank you for your support as we work to end sexual exploitation. Your gift makes a difference in so many important ways.
You've made a difference in the life of a survivor. Your support allows us to offer the Survivor Support Fund, meaning your gift:
- Bought a pair of glasses for a young woman exiting trafficking
- Helped a survivor change their name for reasons of safety and emotional freedom
- Assisted a survivor with tuition costs as they worked to upgrade their education
- Enabled a survivor to get a much-needed prescription filled when there were delays with her health coverage, keeping her from being hospitalized
You've helped to make the online world safer by supporting our efforts to educate about emerging online safety issues.
You've helped make systemic change as together we work to ensure Canadian women and children are less likely to experience sexual exploitation.
You've invested in Canada's future by supporting us in our government advocacy work—whether it's sponsoring and promoting important legislative bills, submitting briefs to parliament, or sponsoring events on Parliament hill that help politicians understand trafficking in Canada and inform them of best practices and innovative approaches for keeping kids safe online.
On any given day, these are things that our team members work on. And it is only possible with your support.
Thank you for helping us make a difference in sexual exploitation in Canada. The Defend Dignity staff and volunteer team are grateful you are a part of the team.
