Reclaim advocates with creditors on behalf of human trafficking survivors with the explicit goal of eliminating the debt survivors incurred fraudulently.

Richard Dunwoody will continue to lead the financial advocacy piece and Victim Services Toronto will work directly with the clients, and, together, will build compelling cases with proper documentation for all survivor clients.

Project Recover will raise awareness of fraudulent debt experienced by human trafficking victims among the financial sector, social services sector, and survivors themselves.
