Manage episode 283435376 series 2821839
Had the great honor to speak with Jess and Cassaundra from ACT Alberta. This episode we go in-depth into more facts, resources and ways to fight against human trafficking.
The Action Coalition on Human Trafficking (ACT Alberta) has worked collaboratively with law enforcement, government agencies and non-government agencies to identify and respond to human trafficking in our province. ACT Alberta serves the needs of internationally and internally trafficked women, men, and LGBTQ+ communities, assisting those trafficked for the purposes of labour exploitation, sexual exploitation, and the forced removal of organs. ACT Alberta is a registered charity and is funded by all levels of government.
ACT Alberta’s Victim Response Team works to support victims of all forms of human trafficking across the province.
We provide free, safe, and confidential service coordination and referrals for victims of human trafficking. We use a victim-centered approach in which we put the needs and concerns of the victims first; this also means that we do not force reporting.
