The Salvation Army has a strong history of working in areas of social justice and has made strengthening its response to modern slavery and human trafficking a global priority.
Major Rachele Lamont spent four years as the co-ordinator for anti-human trafficking in Greece. Now, she’s bringing her expertise to the Canada and Bermuda Territory, hoping to incorporate a response to human trafficking at every level of The Salvation Army.
Human-trafficking survivors may find it difficult to get back into mainstream society due to their lack of day-to-day living skills and the need for employment training. The Salvation Army in Canada is helping to meet those needs by providing safe housing, counselling and job training.
