Klinic’s Human Trafficking Line / The Line
Toll-free: 1-844-333-2211
This line provides 24/7 support and counselling to trafficked persons, and anyone else affected by trafficking. Information regarding resources and referrals are also offered, as well as a reporting option if you are unable or unwilling to contact the police. Information on human trafficking is also available to the general public.
Sex workers can also use the line for making a bad date list report anonymously with a counsellor who after taking the report will offer support that you can accept or decline.
If someone is in immediate danger call 911 or your local emergency police number. If there is a child that is being harmed or neglected call the 24-hour emergency Child and Family Services number at 1-866-345-9241
What does the Human Trafficking Hotline provide?
Support & Counselling
The line is answered by trained counsellors in both sex and labour trafficking. They operate from a non-judgemental, trauma-informed perspective and will meet callers where they’re at. Whether a caller is looking for harm reduction supplies, safety planning, counselling, or to access help and resources, our counsellors are here to provide that support. If you are a service provider, family, friend or co-worker of a trafficked person, or someone who was trafficked in the past, we are here to support you as well.
Resources
Our counsellors have access to a list of resources that is always growing. Although the majority of these resources are Manitoba based, we are in the process of gathering national and international resource information as well. If you are a service provider and are looking for more information on resources in your region, or if you are looking for help for yourself, our counsellors will be able to guide you.
Information
If you’d like more information on how to support a trafficked person in your own life, or identify human trafficking in general, we will be able to provide that to you. Our counsellors are also able to receive information you may have regarding an instance of human trafficking if you are unable or unwilling to contact police. However, keep in mind that when reporting instances of human trafficking it is optimal for you to report to a police organization directly such as Crime Stoppers (204-786-8477 in Winnipeg, 1-800-222-8477 outside of Winnipeg) or 911 if an emergency as they have extensive training in dealing with these cases.
