What is human trafficking? Under the Criminal Code, it’s when someone is being exploited by different means such as force, coercion, threat, fraud, or deception. Victims will often find themselves in prostitution, forced labour or other forms of servitude.

The Centre has five priorities:

1. Develop tools, protocols and guidelines to facilitate Human Trafficking investigations.
2. Coordinate national awareness/training and anti-trafficking initiatives.
3. Identify and maintain lines of communication, identify issues for integrated coordination and provide support
4. Develop and maintain international partnerships and coordinate international initiatives.
5. Coordinate intelligence and facilitate the dissemination of all sources of information/ intelligence.
