Engaging Community: Addressing Sex Trafficking in Edmonton (2015) Summary
In 2013, in response to growing concern over the issue of sex trafficking in Canadian communities, Status of Women Canada provided ACT Alberta with funding to develop a Community Action Plan to prevent and reduce sex trafficking of women and girls in Edmonton. This project was focused on developing a practical, cross-sectoral plan and was guided by Public Safety Canada’s Local Safety Audit Guide: To prevent trafficking in persons and related exploitation. A Core Team of eleven distinct community stakeholders was convened to help guide and support this collaborative plan.
