Michele Anderson is a Canadian anti-human trafficking advocate at Covenant House Toronto who specializes in working to support victims of sex trafficking and advocating on their behalf.[1][2][3][4][5][6] In 2014 Covenant House described Anderson as having over twenty years experience working with youth victimized by sex traffickers.[7]

Anderson plays a key role as part of Covenant House's Human Trafficking Team in supporting victims and educating service providers and law enforcement to recognize the signs of a victim and how to help them. Police routinely call upon Anderson when they make raids, or otherwise discover victims of sex trafficking.[8]

Covenant House launched its comprehensive plan to combat sex trafficking in 2016. The plan proposes measures ranging from prevention to enhanced victim services, a research and evaluation component and an online resource hub[9][10]
