We are grounded in a set of strong values and organizational beliefs and we strive to model and embody these in all we do and they include:

  1. Amplifying Survivor’s Voice:
    Voices of experience ground our efforts. We respect and honor the dignity, agency and resilience of victims and survivors of Human Trafficking both past and present. We work alongside, and stand in solidarity with, those who have been most affected by these abhorrent crimes.
  2. Remaining Collaborative:
    Collaboration gives us strength. By respecting the power of collaboration, both within the organization and externally, we leverage and cultivate the strengths of our staff and fellow colleagues and we work with discipline, integrity, and a commitment to excellence. Effective collaboration will also ensure we are not duplicating efforts but working with maximum efficiency.
  3. Applying Innovation:
    Innovation will propel us to relevant solutions. Effective innovation comes from the application of better solutions to meet the requirements or the needs of Survivors and thus put an end to the threat of Human Trafficking in Canada. We will accomplish this through new and innovative ideas, products, processes, services, technologies or partnerships that are implementable by governments, the private sector, non-profits and society in general. We will define more effective innovations that can be scaled, tracked, measured and reported on to identify progress in this area. We will view the impacts of our efforts holistically, considering multiple sectors and the effects on individuals’ lives, as we pursue longer term, innovative systemic and social change to eradicate modern day slavery in Canada.
  4. Embracing Inclusivity:
    Inclusivity is required to solve this this complex matter. We will engage a range of perspectives to inform our decisions, actions, and positions. We will create opportunities that empower individuals of diverse backgrounds and circumstances through a broad spectrum of knowledge, experience and perspectives leading to both stronger individuals and stronger communities.
  5. Promoting Justice and Equity:
    The principles of justice and equity are paramount. Human Trafficking is a human rights violation. We will place the protection of all human rights at the centre of any measures taken to prevent and end trafficking and believe that any anti-trafficking measures should not adversely affect the human rights and dignity of any individual.
