February 22 is designated as National Human Trafficking Awareness Day in Canada, marking a yearly, nation-wide call to action to educate the public, support survivors, and combat modern-day slavery.
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) combats human trafficking at Canada’s borders by identifying victims, disrupting traffickers, and collaborating with domestic and international partners. CBSA officers are trained to recognize behavioural and situational indicators and plays a critical role in the fight against human trafficking by identifying cross border trafficking activities, referring potential victims to appropriate government support services, and supporting the investigation and prosecution of human trafficking offenders. The CBSA emphasizes a victim centred, trauma informed approach that prioritizes safety, dignity, and confidentiality
Overall, the CBSA positions itself as a frontline defender against exploitation and a key contributor to national and global anti trafficking efforts.
