Through this 29-month project, ACT Alberta will scale their response services for survivors of human trafficking to rural, northern, and Indigenous communities in Alberta. The project will address the lack of response services available in geographically isolated regions, improve connection to culturally appropriate supports, and invest in specialized case management for survivors of forced labour and other forms of trafficking. Additionally, it will mobilize men and boys as allies to prevent and respond to human trafficking by scaling their preventative education programs in male-dominated industries. To do so, the project will include extensive outreach, education, and partnership development in priority regions to expand referral networks, share resources with regional service providers, and improve awareness of ACT’s services for survivors. This will include growing labour-specific referral networks, investing in expert advisory services, piloting a peer support group for survivors, and scaling tailored education programs for transportation and front-line industries. ACT Alberta will develop program briefs to be shared through the GBV Knowledge Centre, and disseminated through ACT’s stakeholder meetings so that others may replicate or expand upon the promising practices.

Additional funding received will expand the project into a greater number of rural areas.
