ANCFSAO Anti-Human Trafficking Symposia – Final Report

ANCFSAO is honoured to release this final report, culminating three provincial symposia and subsequent consultations held across Ontario on the issues of prevention and elimination of Human Trafficking and Gender Based Violence.

The report reflects collective wisdom gathered during these discussions and offers recommendations and steps to move forward together to safeguard our children, youth, families and communities.  We acknowledge and are grateful to those who contributed their learned and lived expertise, survivors and members impacted by human trafficking, and we remain committed to ensuring that this work does not end with the release of the report.  Rather, that this serves as a confirmation of the increasing need for funding, services and training in order to combat human trafficking, particularly as it disproportionately impacts First Nations, Inuit and Métis children, youth, families and communities.  Chii Miigwetch to the presenters, participants, Elders and Knowledge Carriers and Keepers for sharing your knowledge, medicines and ceremony to guide our work in a good way.

National Day for Truth & Reconciliation – September 30, 2025

ANCFSAO stands with our First Nation communities and Child & Family Wellbeing Agencies to honour Indigenous children that were taken away through the Residential School System, their families and communities: a time to acknowledge the legacy of  historic harms, generational impacts and discrimination that Indigenous communities continue to face.

Today we reinforce our commitment to working with our member agencies, their First Nations and sector stakeholders to reduce the overrepresentation of Indigenous children in care.
