“Your Royal Highness, distinguished delegates, Ladies and Gentlemen, Youth Delegates:
Allow me to start by saying that it is a profound honour to be representing the NGO Group for the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which represents some 50 NGOs around the world and such an honour to give the keynote address on an issue of deep, personal importance to myself.
Firstly, I would like to tell you about myself for just a moment. I am a survivor of Commercial Sexual Exploitation. I grew up in the sex trade in Canada from the age of 14- 22. During those eight years in the sex trade most of my friends died; they died from drugs, AIDS, violence, murder and some from suicide.
