Our vision is an Alberta free of human trafficking.
We provide a path to safety for victims and survivors of human trafficking.
ACT is one of the few organizations in the province that provides front-line services to victims of both labour and sex trafficking.
Our Mission
We support and advocate for victims and survivors of human trafficking, increase knowledge and awareness of all forms of human trafficking, and lead and foster collective action through collaboration and respect.
Our Values
Person-centered response driven by human rights
A commitment to serve and empower all individuals using an anti-oppressive framework.
Evidence-based and judgment-free services through a lens of intersectionality.
Collective action through the coordination, collaboration, and respect of stakeholders and allies.
Care, Education, and Collaboration
ACT provides trauma-informed, evidence-based, and person-centred care for our clients. Human trafficking is a human rights abuse that can affect women, men, trans and non-binary individuals, and children right here in Alberta.
We educate our community on how to identify and respond to human trafficking, foster our vast network of collaborators that enable us to get our clients the support they need, and spearhead vital research and policy development across the province.
Since our first case in 2008, we have delivered direct services to thousands of people in need of support. We are accredited social workers, advocates, and educators who work tirelessly toward our vision of an Alberta free of human trafficking.

Our story
For over a decade, ACT Alberta has been steadfast in our vision of an Alberta free of human trafficking. We are a team of social workers, educators, and human rights advocates who are empowering and mobilizing our communities to take action. Guided by those who have lived experience, we provide judgement-free, essential services directly to victims and survivors, and we train and educate the public to recognize the signs of trafficking and know how to safely respond. Our passion drives us to help our clients find their path to safety and be the champion of their own stories. We believe an empowered person cannot be trafficked.
We respect that not everyone wants to report their story.
We respect that everyone’s path may look different.
Today, we are partnering with organizations across the country to establish a community of safety for survivors, and a coalition of champions who will continue to disrupt and raise awareness about human trafficking. We believe that together, our vision of an Alberta free of human trafficking is within reach.
