EVE (previously known as Experiential Voices Educating,[1] Exploited Voices Educating[2] and Exploited Voices now Educating[3]) is an advocacy group based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.[4] Trisha Baptie, an anti-prostitution activist, abolitionist, and former prostitute,[5] was one of the founding members of EVE.[6] In 2010, EVE participated in the Buying Sex is Not a Sport campaign, which raised awareness about the human trafficking surrounding the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver that facilitated the provision of sexual services for visitors.[7] In 2011, EVE representatives spoke at a three-day conference on prostitution in Montreal, Quebec.[8] The conference was called Tribunal populaire sur l'exploitation sexuelle commerciale (English: Popular Tribunal on Commercial Sexual Exploitation), and was organized by La Concertation des luttes contre l'exploitation sexuelle (English: the Coordination of the Struggle against Sexual Exploitation), abbreviated CLES.[9] Also in 2011, Baptie represented EVE in participating in a discussion on prostitution and human trafficking facilitated by CLES and the Vancouver Rape Relief & Women's Shelter.[10]
