Our Mission

The Hamilton Anti-Human Trafficking Coalition is committed to the prevention and elimination of all forms of Human Trafficking. The Coalition’s mission is to develop partnerships and protocols to identify and assist people who have been human trafficked in the Hamilton region, linking people who have been trafficked to appropriate services and supports. The Coalition works to increase knowledge and awareness of human trafficking, advocates for effective, rights-based responses, and conducts research to identify the scope of human trafficking in the Hamilton area.
