OUR ROLE IN THE COMMUNITY
Public Education and Community Engagement
CEASE and its partners are respected voices whose insights are sought within and beyond Edmonton. A hallmark of CEASE’s approach is its dedication to involving women who experienced sexual exploitation, women as peer and public educators, to promote critical thought, empathy and create public awareness.
