Every day, hundreds of vulnerable women in Calgary feel trapped in their life of sexual exploitation and sex trafficking; with no one to trust and no safe place to escape to
We are on a mission to change that
It happens in your city
When people hear the words human trafficking, they often think of overseas or third world countries. Trafficking happens right here in Canada, in Alberta, in Calgary.
93% of trafficking in Canada is domestic with the average age of entry into exploitation being 12-14 years old.
