Tungasuvvingat Inuit

Published purpose

This 37-month project with Tungasuvvingat Inuit will develop and implement an anti-human trafficking bridge between Nunavut and Ontario to build knowledge and enhance empowerment supports for Inuit women and children who are relocating. This will be achieved by hiring 1 FT AHT liaison, developing culturally specific anti-human trafficking education and awareness content, doing outreach to existing and new partners, as well as creating a low-barrier referral process to support community members as they navigate different areas based on their relocation plans. At the end of the project, the organization will have addressed the gaps in support provided to Inuit women and children relocating to the south from Nunavut, ensuring that they are able to prevent and minimize their risk of being targeted by traffickers. The project will include an external evaluation that will look at the success and scalability of the promising practices.
