Description:

This 36-month project with Indus Community Services will develop a toolkit to increase awareness about the unique challenges and risks of human trafficking for foreign-born individuals with precarious immigration status in Ontario. This will be achieved through education and prevention, which will increase awareness about the unique challenges and risks of human trafficking for foreign-born individuals using a toolkit and outreach, which will broaden the scope to reach these at-risk individuals and/or survivors. It will inform them of the settlement resources and supportive services through collaboration whereby a collaborative service model will integrate trauma-informed interventions from a settlement lens with anti-human trafficking partners. At the end of the project, it will have developed, implemented, and supported existing prevention and intervention promising practices that will advance knowledge and enhance empowerment supports for at-risk populations and survivors of human trafficking. The project will include an external evaluation that will look at the success and scalability of the promising practices.

The Program provides grant and contribution funding to Canadian organizations to improve supports to help create long-term, comprehensive solutions at the national, regional, and local levels.
