Learn about Fraser Health's response to human trafficking and how you can help.
Human trafficking is a criminal act, a human rights violation, a form of exploitation, an act of violence and a health care concern occurring globally. The trafficking of men, women and children is happening within and across Canadian borders.
Due to the violent and elusive nature of trafficking, health complications can occur before, during and after the trafficking process. The health consequences can be minor to severe, acute and ongoing.
Persons who are trafficked may look like any other person our care providers see in their workplaces everyday. Our Forensic Nursing Service and Embrace Clinic are ready to help.
