Isabelle Simpson, a sexual abuse and exploitation survivor, feels like she has been abandoned by the Quebec government, as she continues to live through a financial nightmare that began several years ago when her abuser, who also acted as her pimp, left her thousands of dollars in debt.
Simpson, alongside Centre d’aide et de lutte contre les agressions à caractère sexuel (CALACS) Agression Estrie, L’Action Plus de Sherbrooke, and Sherbrooke MNA Christine Labrie, shared her story on Wednesday afternoon inside the Baobab Café de quartier.
