Ontario fund helps indigenous victims of human trafficking – Sudbury.com
Ontario’s human-trafficking strategy includes a focus on indigenous victims.
The Ontario government has announced a call for applications for funding from a new program to help protect indigenous victims of human trafficking.
The Indigenous-Led Initiatives Fund will increase supports and protection for indigenous survivors, as well as those at risk of human trafficking.
In a recent announcement, the government said the invitation for participants comes on the heels of consultations with more than 50 indigenous organizations around the province, which were asked for advice on how the fund could support survivors, their families and their communities.
