Founded in 2016, The Canadian Centre to End Human Trafficking (The Centre) is a national charity dedicated to ending all forms of human trafficking in Canada. We work to drive systemic change by partnering with people with lived experience, all levels of government, frontline service providers, and private sector organizations to advance effective, evidence-informed practices. Our work strengthens the national anti-human trafficking movement through education and awareness, policy and advocacy, research and data collection, and the convening and sharing of knowledge across sectors. In 2019, The Centre launched the Canadian Human Trafficking Hotline, a confidential, multilingual, 24/7 service that supports victims and survivors by connecting them to immediate, local resources of their choosing — including social services, legal supports, or law enforcement if they wish. The Hotline also accepts third-party tips from the public. The role
