In 1998, Timea immigrated to Toronto, Ontario from Budapest, Hungary on the promise of an exciting new job. She was held at the mercy of traffickers and forced to work in the sex industry for three traumatizing months. Since her escape, she has committed her life to eradicating human trafficking, becoming a globally recognized expert in combatting modern-day slavery.
Nagy developed Timea’s Cause, a social enterprise fighting against human trafficking through education, awareness, recovery and rehabilitation efforts. Her work includes public and private sector training and sharing her story through speaking engagements around the world.
Nagy has provided training to numerous agencies in Canada, the U.S. and Europe – reaching thousands of law enforcement officers within sex crime units and the Federal Bureau of Investigations. She was the first survivor to start teaching financial institutions in North America about the importance of joining the fight against human trafficking, and currently serves as DeliverFund’s National Training Advisor.
