"That's Sus" ("That's Suspicious" or "That's Suspect") Human Trafficking Educational Online App

Agreement Number:

HT20354

Agreement Value:

$360,620.00

Agreement Date:

Mar 24, 2021 - Mar 31, 2024

Description:

This 36-month project with the Ontario Network of Victim Service Providers (ONVSP) will develop and roll out a Human Trafficking educational online application called "That's Sus” (“That’s Suspicious” or “That’s Suspect”), to advance knowledge and enhance empowerment supports for at-risk populations and survivors of human trafficking across the Province of Ontario. This will be achieved by 1) developing the "That's Sus!" online web-based application; 2) consulting and interviewing survivors of human trafficking to create trauma-informed application content; and 3) rolling out the application nationally with informed research and support from the ONVSP partner agencies across the Province to empower the end user in identifying signs of human trafficking, gender-based violence and knowing where to seek appropriate resources. At the end of the project, the organization will have 1) developed and delivered the “That’s Sus!” online web-based application across Ontario; and 2) enhanced availability of trauma-informed bilingual material about human trafficking, self-confidence and positive relationships to victim service providers in Ontario. The project will include an external evaluation that will look at the success and scalability of the promising practices.
