Action Coalition on Human Trafficking

ACT Alberta is a coalition of government agencies, nongovernmental organizations, survivors of trafficking and the general public who are concerned with identifying and responding to human trafficking in our province.

What we do:

• We increase collaboration between NGOs, immigrant serving agencies, social service providers, healthcare workers, law and enforcement agencies and government agencies to address victims of human trafficking
• We provide a networking space for organizations working on this issue to collaborate and share best practices
• We encourage the formation of local ACT Chapters dedicated to working on this issue from a grass-roots approach.
• We raise awareness of human trafficking and provide public education opportunities
• We offer specified training to professionals who may come into contact with trafficked persons

ACT Alberta aims to mobilize various stakeholders in Alberta to identify and respond to human trafficking in our province by (i) reducing both the vulnerability of potential victims and the demand for exploitation in all its forms; (ii) ensuring adequate protection and support to those who do fall victim, and (iii) supporting the efficient prosecution of the criminals involved, while respecting the fundamental human rights of all persons.
