Help us keep support available when it’s needed most.
Demand for our services is growing. Our resources are not. Recent funding decisions and eligibility changes have cut our funding by nearly 40%, putting critical survivor supports at risk.
Don't let the funding gap become a care gap.
Demand for support is growing across Alberta, but recent funding changes have reduced our resources by nearly 40 percent.
More people are reaching out for support, and we do not have the capacity to meet that need. Without additional support, fewer victims and survivors will be able to access the care when they need it most.
Human trafficking is happening in Alberta.
Human trafficking is happening in workplaces, industries, and communities across Alberta and Canada. It doesn’t always look the way people expect, and it often goes unnoticed.
Many of the systems meant to respond are stretched thin and don’t always have the resources or training needed to provide support in complex situations.
Labour trafficking is often misunderstood. Many people don’t know what to look for, how to help, or where someone can turn for support.
People who are being trafficked often face serious barriers that make it hard to leave. They may feel afraid or isolated. They may worry about their safety, their immigration status, or what will happen if they speak out.
More people are reaching out for our support than ever before. We are seeing increasing requests from across Alberta, especially in rural and remote communities where support is limited, and from other parts of Canada. Without access to the right support, many are left trying to navigate these situations on their own.
“ACT routinely provides expert insight and immediate support to survivors during critical moments, including emergency response, reporting, and safety planning. Their advocacy has strengthened our ability to respond with sensitivity, efficiency, and accountability.
Just as importantly, their work has helped reduce the fragmentation that historically leaves survivors navigating complex systems alone.”
– Sgt. Roland Misik, Alberta RCMP
How ACT supports victims and survivors
Human trafficking is complex, and no two situations are the same. At ACT, we take a survivor‑centred approach. This means meeting people where they are and walking alongside them on their path to safety.
Our Mission
We support and advocate for victims and survivors of human trafficking, increase knowledge and awareness of all forms of human trafficking, and lead and foster collective action through collaboration and respect.
Since our first case in 2008, we have delivered direct services to over 1000 victims and survivors of human trafficking in Alberta. We are accredited social workers, advocates, and educators who work tirelessly toward our vision of an Alberta free of human trafficking.
Everyone’s path is different. We’re here so you don’t have to walk it alone.
What We Do
We provide specialized support to victims and survivors across Alberta, helping them navigate complex systems and access the resources they need to move forward.
Our Work Includes:
Immediate support: judgment-free support, referrals for basic needs, safety planning
Ongoing care: case management and system navigation tailored to each individual
Peer support: creating safe spaces for connection, understanding, and healing
Prevention and training: equipping communities, workplaces, and frontline workers to recognize and respond to trafficking

You can help close the gap.
Victims and survivors shouldn’t have to wait for support. Your gift means someone doesn't face this journey alone.
“ACT plays a pivotal role in coordinating survivor support, identifying shared challenges and priorities, and highlighting emerging risks, both at the provincial level and in relation to national trends.
Their ability to bring together diverse stakeholders creates a more unified, consistent, and survivor-centred response across jurisdictions. Few organizations demonstrate this level of cross-sector coordination or contribute so meaningfully to the national dialogue on trafficking.”
