Join us to launch "The Empowered Caregivers Toolkit," a survivor-led anti-trafficking resource to help caregivers walk alongside survivors.
About this Event

Join us for the launch of The Empowered Caregivers Project: A Survivor-Led Anti-Trafficking Toolkit to Help Caregivers Walk Alongside Survivors.

  • Hear from those with lived experience of human trafficking and sexual exploitation who led and contributed to this project.
  • Celebrate the contributions of survivors and their vast skills and talents!
  • Network with local organizations and agencies so together we can better care for survivors.

To ensure a wide range of agencies can attend, we ask that each agency limit their ticket reservation to two tickets.

Agencies and organizations are also encouraged to register for table space in our Collaboration Room. Each table registration includes one additional ticket. For details, please select the โ€œAgency/Organization Boothโ€ option during registration.

This project has been funded through Women and Gender Equality Canada.
