Anti-Human Trafficking

Human trafficking involves “the recruitment, transportation, harbouring and/or exercising control, direction, or influence over the movements of a person in order to exploit that person, typically through sexual exploitation or forced labour.” Indigenous women and girls are at a higher risk of being targeted for human trafficking.
