Human Trafficking & Immigration (1/2 Day PM)

OUR MISSION: We support and advocate for victims and survivors of human trafficking, increase knowledge and awareness of all forms of human trafficking, and lead and foster collective action through collaboration and respect.

OUR VALUES: • Person-centered response driven by human rights. • A commitment to serve and empower all individuals using an anti-oppressive framework. • Evidence-based and judgment-free services through a lens of intersectionality. • Collective action through the coordination, collaboration, and respect of stakeholders and allies.

OUR WORK: At ACT Alberta, our first goal is always to get victims and survivors on their path to safety. We also know that we can't solve this problem alone: we raise public awareness and readiness so that our community can work together to reduce trafficking. We are committed to our three pillars of service: Response, Prevention, and Mobilization. 

In this presentation, we will cover the Definitions and Legislation, Qualities of Trafficking, Identifying Trafficking, Responding to Trafficking, Victim and Survivor Assistance, and Resources and Contacts.
