Support and Assistance to Survivors of Human Trafficking in Alberta

By John Winterdyk and Crystal Hincks

This report represents the findings of the survey and interviews conducted in Alberta as part of the project supported by ICCLR to undertake a “qualitative analysis of services/supports for human trafficking survivors”. The findings of the research project reiterates what several other similar studies have concluded: governments, advocacy groups, and community agencies need to work collaboratively to close ongoing gaps in service provision. These stakeholders need to share resources to increase capacity across all sectors, further develop and implement trauma-informed and survivor-informed service approaches among client-facing workers, and work towards the shared vision of helping victims and survivors of human trafficking lead healthy lives free from exploitation.
