From a labour rights approach, GAATW Canada provides a national voice to anti-trafficking policy and practice through research, policy, advocacy, education, and reciprocal collaboration.
We amplify community and scholarly expertise to combat human trafficking by using evidence-based approaches that effectively support trafficked individuals while mitigating the harms associated with the rescue industry.
About Us
