Tímea Nagy (activist)

[5] In 2009,[2] Nagy founded Walk With Me, a Toronto-based organization[5] that gives aid to human trafficking survivors[6] and partners with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in rescuing victims, some of whom are only 12 years old.

[8] That September, Nagy spoke at a Calgary workshop that had been convened as part of a larger human trafficking seminar for immigration and police officials, a few days after the first time human trafficking charges were laid in Alberta; police alleged that two women from Fiji and one from Beijing had been tricked into sexual slavery in Canada through similar circumstances to those Nagy had experienced 11 years prior.

Nagy was one of the bill's five main proponents, the others being Natasha Falle, another former human trafficking victim who now runs the anti-human-trafficking organization Sex Trade 101; Tamara Cherry, a journalist for the Toronto Sun who writes about human trafficking in Canada; Brian McConaghy, a former RCMP officer who works with Ratanak International, another anti-human-trafficking organization; and Grand Chief of the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs Ron Evans, who raised awareness about victims of the sex industry in Manitoba.

[7] In June 2011, Nagy spoke out against a decision that had been made to strike down some Canadian anti-prostitution laws; she argued that "this ruling will not make it any safer" for human trafficking victims, and that "it will not free them up from being enslaved".

Alan Young, the lawyer seeking to strike down the laws, addressed these women by saying, "I'm sorry for what happened to you, but don't extrapolate from your experience into public policy.

[11] In March 2012, the Court of Appeal for Ontario struck down several anti-prostitution laws, and Nagy said that this decision would result in "police officers [having] way less power to arrest domestic traffickers".

The second decision was that of the Department of Citizenship and Immigration Canada to stop processing new applications for sex-industry-related businesses, such as escort agencies, massage parlors, and strip clubs.

At the ceremony, Nagy spoke about the erotic services advertised on Craigslist, and said that she was disgusted that the girls sold through the website were inaccessible by the police and anti-human-trafficking organizations.
