According to Public Safety Canada approximately 50% of the victims of human trafficking in Canada are Indigenous women, even though they represent less than 5% of the total population.
The Native Courtworker and Counselling Association of British Columbia (NCCABC) actively addresses and combats human trafficking, particularly its impact on Indigenous communities.
The Terrace Anti-Trafficking Youth Advisory Committee joined by the team from NCCABC presented a week of workshops on human trafficking awareness and prevention for students. The committee presentations were hosted by Thornhill Elementary, Caledonia Secondary, Hazelton Secondary, Parkside Secondary, Skeena Middle School, and Kermode Friendship Centre.
NCCABC employs the Wraparound approach to assist Indigenous youth at risk of gang involvement, which is often linked to trafficking. This initiative offers individual and family intervention plans, parenting workshops, and cultural events to deter youth from engaging in gang-related activities.
