About SafeHope Home
Why is SafeHope Home needed?
Human Trafficking into the sex trade in Canada refers to the coercion of others for material gain; in other words, young women are forced into the sex trade against their will. The coercion is often based on false relationship manipulation, money, drugs, physical abuse or any combination of these. What awaits them is a life of despair, violence, fear and degradation.
Incidents of human trafficking of this form have been increasing in Durham Region and in fact all of Ontario. The Durham Regional Police (and other regions of Ontario) have formed special human trafficking units to combat these crimes and prior to the SafeHope Home initiative a complete resource like ours did not exist in support of their efforts and to assist those wanting to escape their entrapment.
Why we are here
Our hope is that one day human trafficking will end globally. Until that day, we are committed to providing help for those wanting to escape their entrapment
