===British Columbia's Efforts=== | |||
BC’s Office to Combat Trafficking in Persons(OCTIP) is responsible for the overall coordination of the provincial strategy to address human trafficking. Fighting human trafficking requires a multidisciplinary response involving participation from all levels of government. The OCTIP works with both federal and provincial governments, law enforcement, academic organizations and community agencies. | |||
OCTIP’s mandate is to: | |||
*Support communities in building local capacity to address human trafficking – from prevention to service provision | |||
*Raise awareness and provide training and education | |||
*Identify gaps and barriers in services, policies and legislation that impede trafficked persons’ internationally-protected human rights | |||
*Contribute to national and international efforts to combat human trafficking | |||
British Columbia has a BC Action Plan to Combat Human Trafficking which lays out three key priorities and five priority action areas for responding to human trafficking issues across the province for the years 2013-2016. | |||
