As a proud Indigenous woman, educator, and consultant, Rayanne K. Irving is now serving as a Board Advisor to CAHTC, bringing her lived experience, trauma-informed expertise, and frontline advocacy to the organization.

The Canadian Alliance to End Human Trafficking and Child Exploitation (CAHTC) is a national organization dedicated to preventing, addressing, and eradicating human trafficking and child exploitation in Canada. Through education, advocacy, survivor-led initiatives, and policy reform, CAHTC works to protect vulnerable populations and support those impacted by trafficking.

Rayanne’s role focuses on advising policy, amplifying survivor voices, and fostering collaboration between organizations, frontline workers, and communities. Her leadership helps ensure that CAHTC’s initiatives are rooted in lived experience, culturally aware, and effective in supporting those most at risk.

Through lived experience, frontline work, and years of advocacy, Rayanne has co-developed with Jenn Pool a groundbreaking new course on human trafficking—one that goes beyond statistics and explores the realities, complexities, and personal impact of trafficking in ways never before taught to First Responders.

This course isn’t just about understanding the history of human trafficking—it’s about recognizing how our own experiences, traumas, and biases shape the way we see and respond to exploitation. By bridging personal awareness with practical intervention strategies, first responders will be better equipped to identify, support, and advocate for trafficking survivors with dignity, compassion, and effectiveness.

Built from both professional expertise and deeply personal insight, this initiative is a huge step toward systemic change—giving frontline workers the tools they need to combat trafficking in a meaningful, trauma-informed way.

🚨 Because real change starts with education, awareness, and the willingness to look within. Stay tuned for more details on how to get involved!
