National Human Trafficking Awareness Day, observed on February 22nd in Canada, is a crucial opportunity to shed light on the widespread and devastating issue of human trafficking. This day is dedicated to raising awareness about the different forms of trafficking—whether sex trafficking, labour trafficking, or child trafficking—that affect individuals across Canada and around the world.

Human trafficking is a severe violation of human rights, with victims often subjected to exploitation, abuse, and manipulation. By increasing public awareness, we can better identify the signs of trafficking, offer support to survivors, and advocate for stronger policies to combat this crime.

At Waypoints, we are committed to combating human trafficking through education and outreach. We offer various presentations and resources aimed at raising awareness and empowering individuals and communities to take action. Our efforts help people recognize the signs of trafficking, understand how to respond, and contribute to creating a safer, more informed society. To learn more about our anti-human trafficking presentations, contact our Outreach Manager at outreach.manager@waypointswb.ca.
