In May 2019, the City of Toronto’s END TRAFFICKING T.O. division submitted a report on Supporting Survivors of Human Trafficking.

Aura Freedom was asked to participate in the City’s consultations implemented to make sure the voices of community stakeholders were incorporated into the report, which also recognized mentioned Aura Freedom’s Peer Prevention Project.

Aura Freedom made a written submission to City Council regarding the report, in order to put prevention, gender equality and anti-oppression at the top of the counter-trafficking agenda.

On June 18, 2019, Council adopted the report that outlines a number of actions that the City proposes to take, in collaboration with other agencies, corporations and divisions to support survivors of human trafficking.

We look forward to being a part of the City of Toronto’s ongoing efforts to address human trafficking in our communities.
