The Toronto-based Centre To End Human Trafficking has launched a 24-hour national hotline for victims and survivors of human trafficking from anywhere in Canada.

“This hotline will provide critical resources to victims and survivors and will help law enforcement dismantle human trafficking networks across the country,” says Barbara Gosse, CEO for the charitable organization, which is running the hotline — the first of its kind in Canada — around the clock, every day of the year.

“People find it hard to believe, but human trafficking is a real threat to vulnerable individuals across this country.”

The phone line will be designed to provide confidential responses to those who may be caught up in a web of human trafficking, offer crisis intervention and accept tips from the public on possible human trafficking.

The new human trafficking hotline can be reached at 1-833-900-1010 and is a multilingual service.
