At Sakeenah, we offer a comprehensive and holistic approach to supporting survivors of human trafficking, helping them navigate the various barriers to their rehabilitation that intersect in complex ways.

Human trafficking, also known as modern-day slavery, involves various forms of exploitation such as labor trafficking, sex trafficking, forced marriage, and organ harvesting. It occurs when individuals are induced, recruited, transported, or harbored through force, fraud, or coercion, with the purpose of exploitation. This can include forced labor, sexual acts, domestic servitude, and more. Human trafficking is a serious crime under Canadian law, including the Criminal Code and the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
Yes. It is important to recognize that human trafficking does NOT discriminate based on age, religion, culture, race, or community. It can happen to anyone because everyone has vulnerabilities that traffickers can exploit.
We are here for you if you need help. Our team has the skills, knowledge, and cultural sensitivity to help those being trafficked. You can contact us at 1-888-671-3446
Every night, thousands of women and children in Canada face homelessness, poverty, and trauma. We are on a mission to change that.
While Sakeenah functions at a national level, our head office and The People’s Market operate out of land that is part of the Treaty and Traditional Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, The Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Huron-Wendat and Wyandot Nations.
Sakeenah believes that while a land acknowledgement is the first step, we also understand that land acknowledgements alone are not sufficient to redress the harm caused by centuries of land theft, forced displacement and ongoing acts of settler colonialism. We recognize that this work is ongoing and complex, and we are dedicated to doing our part to create a better future for all.
