The report is structured in two main sections outlining OTIP's efforts to prevent and protect individuals who have experienced human trafficking, including providing access to crucial benefits and services, delivering training and technical assistance to build the capacity of frontline professionals to address human trafficking concerns in their workplace, investing in public awareness and outreach initiatives to increase awareness, and collaborating with diverse partners to strengthen an integrated response to human trafficking, among others. The report notes how OTIP remained flexible, adaptive, and responsive to challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, which exacerbated many underlying social and economic conditions that put individuals at risk for human trafficking.
