A new safety coordinator position to help vulnerable women exit human trafficking will pay dividends in the community, says a woman who advocated for change after her sister was slain in Edmonton last year.
The Centre to End All Sexual Exploitation (CEASE) recently hired a safety coordinator to pull together resources that can better help vulnerable women find stability. The position is part of a larger federally-funded framework working in tandem with the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team (ALERT) and REACH Edmonton to combat human trafficking in the province.
