Nova Scotia continues to see the highest rate of human trafficking incidents reported by police in Canada, with new Statistics Canada data showing the province’s numbers were triple the national average.
The data released on Monday looked at human trafficking data from 2014 to 2024 nationally and found during the 10-year span, there were 5,070 incidents reported by police — an annual average rate of 1.2 incidents per 100,000 people. In 2024, the national average was at 1.5 with 608 incidents reported.
In Nova Scotia, that average rate sat at 4.1 per 100,000 during 10-year period, a total of 452 cases. In 2024 alone, the rate was at 4.5 with a total of 48 cases.
This year, the three Maritime provinces and Ontario each saw their rates soar past the national average, with Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick hitting 2.8 and 2.0 respectively, while Ontario saw 2.3 incidents per 100,000.
Human trafficking is defined as recruiting, transporting, sheltering or controlling the movements of a person for the purposes of exploitation, usually for sexual reasons or forced labour, according to Statistics Canada. It also does not require the crossing of international borders and can occur within a single country.
Julia Drydyk, executive director of the Canadian Centre to End Human Trafficking, said the numbers tell a story.
“The data issued by Statistics Canada and also data from the Canadian Human Trafficking Hotline is only the tip of the iceberg,” she said. “We estimate that less than 10 per cent of human trafficking survivors are willing to engage with law enforcement as part of their journey.”
The centre operates the Canadian Human Trafficking Hotline and has received almost 19,800 contacts and identified more than 2,030 cases of trafficking since its launched in 2019.

The troubling situation when it comes to human trafficking in New Brunswick
The cases noted in the Statistics Canada report include both incidents involving Criminal Code violations, such as trafficking in persons under 18 years, as well as a violation of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act involving the trafficking in persons into Canada.
The Statistics Canada report found that from 2014 to 2024, the vast majority of victims — 93 per cent — were women and girls, with two-thirds reported to be under 25 years old, while 82 per cent of the accused in human trafficking cases were men and boys.
“These trends have generally remained consistent over time,” Statistics Canada notes. “Additionally, compared with men and boy victims, women and girl victims tended to be younger, to be involved in single-victim incidents and to share an intimate relationship with their trafficker.”
When women and girls were trafficked, the report also found 36 per cent shared an intimate relationship with the accused, while 46 per cent of men and boys trafficked shared a business relationship with the accused.
Drydyk said the increasing rate of police-reported human trafficking, while concerning, does have a positive note to it as it shows more awareness and knowledge of what the crime looks like.
“(It) shows actually that we’re seeing a real impact in the education, awareness and general knowledge about human trafficking in Canada,” she said, noting Nova Scotia’s high rate speaks to the issue. “I think the long-standing trend of seeing Nova Scotia have such higher per capita numbers compared to other provinces is a testament to the power of putting resources into the issue at hand.”
While the number of cases increased in the past decade, so too has how the courts have handled the incidents.
In total between the 2013-14 and 2023-24 period, there were 1,281 cases involving 4,464 charges processed in adult criminal courts that received a final decision.
In 2023-24, there were 112 cases with a final decision compared to 46 a decade earlier.
But while the number of cases and charges have increased, Statistics Canada notes human trafficking cases are often complex with an average of 18 charges laid per case and they take about twice as long to complete compared to other violent offence cases.
During the 2013-14 to 2023-24 period, about 84 per cent of cases that were completed were stayed, withdrawn, dismissed or discharged, with just 10 per cent resulting in a guilty finding. About 78 per cent of those who were convicted were sentenced to jail.
Drydyk told Global News the statistics show that while there’s been gains in the criminal justice system, more work is still needed.
“Overwhelmingly we’re still failing survivors of both sex trafficking and labour trafficking in Canada,” she said, noting that trials are long, re-traumatizing for victims and “insufficient” in achieving convictions. “It just is ultimately failing survivors.”
Today broke my heart a beautiful young mother who has left behind a baby girl - she isn’t even 3 months old. A family totally devastated. A father carrying the coffin of his daughter. No family should have to endure such pain. The murderer.. a 41 year old monster Mohammed Azim with several past convictions including 3 rapes and manslaughter.. 2 prison terms BOTH of which he was RELEASED EARLY - free to MURDER Lily. An absolute and total failure by successive governments to prioritise our citizens safety. Today has made me even more determined to fight for justice and the protection of Women and Children in this country! If I spend the rest of life fighting to stop another family suffering as the Whitehouse family did today.. then that is what I will do. ENOUGH. Protect Us. Protect our Children
Mohammed Azim: Recent Murder Charge in the UKThe most prominent and recent news associated with the name "Mohammed Azim" (aged 41) relates to a tragic murder case in Oldbury, West Midlands, UK. On November 5, 2025, 19-year-old Lily Whitehouse was found with serious injuries on Park Street and was pronounced dead at the scene. Mohammed Azim has been charged with her murder and appeared in Wolverhampton Magistrates' Court on November 7, 2025. He was remanded in custody and is scheduled to appear at Wolverhampton Crown Court on November 10, 2025.Background on the AccusedAzim has a documented history of violent offenses, which has drawn significant public outrage and scrutiny over the UK's criminal justice and early release policies:
2006: At age 22–23, Azim abducted a man, tied him up, and drowned him in a canal in Oldbury. He was convicted of manslaughter and kidnapping, receiving an 11-year sentence. He was released on license around 2011.
2012–2013: Shortly after release, Azim attacked a homeless woman in a bus shelter by smashing a bottle over her head, dragging her to a nearby factory, and raping her three times (captured on CCTV). He was convicted of three counts of rape in 2013 and sentenced to an Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) term with a minimum 16-year tariff plus a 4-year extended license. The judge described him as a "danger to the public" and noted he was "lucky not to get life." He was released early in 2020 under a COVID-19 prison release scheme, despite being labeled high-risk, with supervision intended until at least 2029.
This pattern of violence has fueled discussions on X (formerly Twitter) about systemic failures, with users highlighting how early releases allowed Azim to reoffend. Friends and family of Lily Whitehouse have paid heartfelt tributes, describing her as a "beautiful young mother" who left behind a baby girl less than three months old. Flowers, teddy bears, and notes have been left at the scene. The case has gone viral on X, with posts from figures like Reform UK candidate Orla Minihane emphasizing the need for better protection of women and children. Other discussions draw parallels to similar high-profile cases, criticizing lenient sentencing and release practices. Judges seem to have the idea that criminal behaviour will improve over time if handled gently by the courts. However, sin is progressive as this case shows, Mohammed became more and more violent as time went on.
