Approximately 90%* of human trafficking victims identified in Canada are Canadian citizens or permanent residents.
Domestic Trafficking: When victims are recruited, exploited, and trafficked within their own country.
International Trafficking: When victims are transported across international borders for the purpose of exploitation.
While international trafficking does occur, the vast majority of human trafficking in Canada is domestic, meaning victims are often exploited within their own communities, provinces, and country.
Human trafficking isn’t just happening somewhere else. It’s happening here. Awareness is the first step toward prevention. 💛
