WE PROVIDE A PATH to safety FOR VICTIMS and survivors OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING.

ACT is one of the few organizations in the province that provides front-line services to victims of both labour and sex trafficking.

CARE, EDUCATION, AND COLLABORATION
ACT provides trauma-informed, evidence-based, and person-centered care for our clients. Human trafficking is a human rights abuse that can affect women, men, trans and non-binary individuals, and children right here in Alberta.

We educate our community on how to identify and respond to human trafficking, foster our vast network of collaborators that enable us to get our clients the help they need, and spearhead vital research and policy development across the province.

WHO WE ARE
