Winnipeg city council is debating the future of escort services and body rub parlours in the city, which is a good first step according to advocate Diane Redsky.

A community group helping some of Winnipeg's most vulnerable in the inner city is asking for the public's help with their important work.

The inquiry is hearing its final testimony on Thursday in St. John's, N.L., with witnesses calling for authorities to include sexual exploitation survivors in policing and protection of victims of human trafficking.
