On April 15 + 16, 2011, Raise Their Voice hosted an event in Red Deer, Alberta called Raise Their Voice: The Trafficked + Exploited (#rtvRD) that brought together people from all over Alberta and other Canadian provinces who are passionate about eradicating human trafficking in Canada and beyond.

The purpose of the event was to equip Canadians to identify what trafficking is, to learn who is vulnerable to trafficking and to discover how they can assist those who are victims of trafficking or susceptible to exploitation locally, nationally and internationally.

#rtvRD featured workshops, networking, strategic thinking, creative expressions (including fine art, dance, and music) and keynote addresses by Glendene Grant, the mother of Jessie Foster, MP Joy Smith, Mark Wollenberg of International Justice Mission Canada, and Norma, a survivor of human trafficking.
