Join the fight against human trafficking by learning what to look for. ACT Alberta's free training will teach you how to identify the signs of human trafficking and how to safely respond.
Human trafficking is a terrible and highly coordinated crime. It is only through collective action and radical collaboration that we will make a difference. You can help by connecting with ACT Alberta and expanding the scope of support for victims and survivors.
When you donate to ACT Alberta, you connect victims and survivors to the resources they need to get out of a life-threatening situation. Whether it’s a monthly donation, or a gift card for groceries, every gift makes a difference.
The Action Coalition on Human Trafficking Alberta (ACT) is one of the few organizations in Alberta that provides front-line services to victims and survivors of both labour and sex trafficking — crimes that can affect women, men, trans and non-binary individuals, and children. Since 2008, our victim services team, educators, and advocates have helped thousands of victims and survivors on their path to safety.
WE CAN'T DO THIS ALONE
At ACT Alberta, our first goal is to get victims and survivors of human trafficking on the 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.
To accomplish these goals, ACT has three core program streams:
Who is most at risk? Traffickers intentionally target victims who are already vulnerable:
- Foreign nationals
- Some Indigenous women and girls
- Those involved in the sex trade
- Persons with low socio-economic status
- Those with mental health concerns and addictions
- Youth
Sex trafficking is a distinctly gendered issue that primarily (but not exclusively) affects women and girls.
Human trafficking is often found at the intersection of spaces where there’s endemic:
- Sexism
- Sexual violence
- Racism and discrimination
- Poverty
