Canadian Human Trafficking Hotline - Call: 1-833-900-1010You can also email to hotline@ccteht.ca. The hotline does not open website/URL links or attachments. Please describe, within the email, all information related to your concern. If you would like to report a possible case of human trafficking, please call 1-833-900-1010, or submit the tip online.
Human trafficking is the exploitation of human beings for gain. Trafficking exploitation can exist in many forms and usually entails victims being caused to provide sexual services or labour through force, coercion, deception and/or abuse of trust, power or authority. Human trafficking therefore results in substantial physical, psychological, and emotional trauma to the victims.  If you think you might be a victim of human trafficking or think someone else maybe, we can help. Hotline Response Advocates are available 24/7/365 and support is available in over 200 languages. The hotline can connect callers to local service providers and/or emergency services in communities across Canada.
