Barbra Schlifer Commemorative Clinic, Toronto, Ontario
This program offers support to women who are either experiencing or vulnerable to trafficking for sexual exploitation because of their precarious immigration status. A group of organizations in Toronto will provide services including trauma counselling, legal advice, access to primary health services, and housing referrals. The organizations involved will focus on community outreach and work with migrant women in locations where they gather and feel safe. Efforts will be concentrated in Toronto neighbourhoods where women are recruited for trafficking.
Grant amount: $250,000 over 5 years
