The most damage done to me in my life was done from the men who bought me,’ says sexual exploitation survivor – SooToday.com
Bridget Perrier opens up about her experiences in the sex trade – as a young Indigenous girl – during MMIWG2S+ event in Sault Ste. Marie
A survivor of sexual exploitation shared her story during Sault Ste. Marie’s annual Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirit Plus (MMIWG2S+) event Monday.
This year’s virtual event featured Bridget Perrier, an Indigenous woman who has dedicated her life to educating the public about sexual exploitation and providing support for those caught up in the cycle of prostitution.
“Everyone says you choose prostitution, and I don’t believe that. I believe that prostitution chooses you based on child trauma, and I was a perfect candidate for prostitution,” she told participants during her virtual presentation.
