Awareness Week

Each year, the Province of BC declares Stop the Sexual Exploitation of Children and Youth Awareness Week. Held annually in the month of March, the awareness week recognizes the importance of supporting communities to develop prevention, education, enforcement, and intervention strategies to address the sexual exploitation of children and youth.

Why a Fuchsia Daisy?

In the same way you might wear a yellow daffodil pin to raise awareness about cancer, we chose the daisy as our flower pin, as it is a flower that easily connects to childhood innocence.  It’s fuchsia because the colour is a combination of red (for red light districts) and purple (B.C.’s Provincial colour for violence prevention). Please make a small donation, and pick up the daisy pin. By wearing the pin you are standing with us in the fight against sexual exploitation and human trafficking.

Fuchsia Daisy pins can be picked up at the following locations during awareness week:

  • Vancity-Coquitlam – 20-2991 Lougheed Hwy, Coquitlam
  • Vancity-Port Moody – 5-121 Brew St., Port Moody

Wear your daisy pin proudly during the month of March and show others that you stand with us in our fight to prevent the sexual exploitation of kids in communities all around BC!
