Imagine discovering your child had been sex trafficked. What would you do? If you’re Lynda Harlos, you start a fire. A blazing fire that would wipe out ignorance, denial, and misunderstanding within families, communities, and the world. A fire that would ignite passion in others to stand up and join the fight against domestic sex trafficking.

Lynda’s newest book ‘Walk a Mile,’ available on Amazon, talks about her struggle as a parent, realizing that what she thought was a ‘teenage hormonal issue’ was her daughter being lured, groomed, and gamed into sex trafficking.
She has been interviewed to spread awareness with CBC, Global News, CTV North, 360 Kids, the National Council of Jewish Women of Canada, the Toronto Star, and many more. You can check out her work and watch training videos on her website or YouTube channel @ParentWithPurpose.ca.
