Human trafficking is an unconscionable crime that impacts the most vulnerable in Canada and around the world. The pandemic has made it even more difficult to keep vulnerable populations safe, and help victims escape situations of human trafficking and access the supports they need. Indigenous women and girls, newcomers to Canada, Black and racialized women and those living in poverty are particularly vulnerable to being trafficked.
