Abstract:
As a component of the Healthy, Empowered, Resilient (H.E.R.) Pregnancy Program Year One process evaluation, a literature review was conducted. The purpose was to identify elements of successful programming and models similar to the work of the H.E.R. Program. The review was designed to capture information on what similar programs are operating both in Canada and internationally to support street-involved pregnant women and youth. The review provides information on key questions and information sought about service delivery models for street-involved pregnant women. It summarizes and provides details on similar programming offered for street-involved pregnant women that align with the H.E.R. Program goals and principles. The search strategy components include questions, scope, search strategy and reporting details as outlined, below. This information is followed by the results from the literature review, presented in narrative form.[Taken from Introduction and Methodology]

Abstract:
Despite increasing awareness about human trafficking in Alberta and Canada, there is insufficient detailed knowledge about how communities are responding to human trafficking and local strategies to address the rights and needs of trafficked persons remain underdeveloped.
This project represents the first Canadian attempt to document how a major Canadian urban centre is addressing the rights and needs of trafficked persons and as such, focuses on Calgary. The project surveyed 53 respondents and conducted five focus group discussions during the fall of 2011.
The report begins by providing an overview of the active role that the Action Coalition on human Trafficking (ACT) Alberta plays in the province as well as an overview of key legislation pertaining to human trafficking in Canada.
The main findings of the report point to a clear lack of clarity around a number of significant issues that individually and collectively speak to the challenges facing agencies and organizations in providing the appropriate responses to victims of trafficking in Calgary.
The report concludes with ten recommendations that identify potential responses to the key issues highlighted in the report, including reinforcing a victim-centered definition of human trafficking, increasing consultation and coordination among service providers, providing realistic messages and awareness raising campaigns, offering specialized training to support improved victim assistance, and continuing research in the area of human trafficking in Alberta.

Abstract:
The findings of this report show that Canada is falling behind. Once ranked 7th in the world for closing the gap between women and men, Canada is now ranked 73rd. The decline is no accident. There has been a systematic erosion of the human rights of women and girls in Canada during the period covered by this report and the current UN review: 2004-2009. The changes to Status of Women Canada, the shifts in policy and programming within the federal government, and the government’s response to the economic crisis have been felt by the most vulnerable women and girls in Canada.
