Canadian Human Trafficking Hotline:

Human trafficking (sex, labour, and organ trafficking) involves recruiting, transporting, harbouring, or receiving a person, through the use of force, fraud, or coercion, for the purpose of exploitation. In the case of minors, any commercial sex act is trafficking, regardless of whether force, fraud, or coercion is involved. Exploitation can occur without trafficking.

Covenant House Vancouver is engaged in a 32-month project that will develop and implement intervention practices that will advance knowledge and enhance empowerment supports for youth age 16 to 24, who are at risk of, or are survivors of, exploitation and human trafficking, in Vancouver.

Our goal is to strengthen our work and our communities through learning and capacity building. We encourage you to join us in learning through the toolkit Pivoting Practice: Building Capacity to Serve Youth Impacted by Trafficking.

This toolkit was developed during a 3-year project that was supported by Women and Gender Equality Canada. The project aimed to increase CHV’s capacity to identify, understand, and support youth impacted by human trafficking and/or exploitation. This project and the development of the toolkit included a literature review and consultation with survivors, anti-human trafficking organizations, and organizations that serve youth across North America.
