Human trafficking is a horrific crime that steals away freedom and dignity from individuals. It’s a reality that many may not realize is happening in their own communities. In Alberta, the government is committed to fighting this crime in all its forms—whether it’s sexual exploitation, forced labor, or other types of coercion.

Recently, Alberta invested $5.5 million to support organizations that assist survivors and increase awareness about human trafficking. This funding aims to build up the resources available to those affected, ensuring that they have the help they need to rebuild their lives.

Not only is the government working closely with various organizations to prevent this crime, but they are also focused on education and support for survivors. By facilitating partnerships among governments, law enforcement, and community organizations, Alberta is taking action to protect those at risk and disrupt trafficking networks.

So what can you do? Educate yourself and those around you. Recognizing the signs of trafficking is the first step. Together, we can empower survivors and work towards creating safer communities for everyone. Let’s fight against human trafficking, together!
