SOBRE NOSOTROS

We are on a mission to end sex trafficking and child exploitation while empowering survivors to heal and thrive.

Finanzas Confianza y Transparencia Nuestro equipo

Hablamos todos los días con personas con gran ímpetu por el rescate de niños.

While only law enforcement has the legal jurisdiction to rescue children and individuals trapped in situations of sex trafficking and exploitation, OUR Rescue works to empower their courageous work by providing unparalleled support.

We also strategically partner with other NGOs to both support prevention efforts that make a lasting difference and empower survivors to thrive on their healing journey.

Operation Success Story, March 2024:

With fake offers of jobs at luxury hotels, an international criminal group was allegedly deceiving and selling eight Colombians for sex. Then, to keep the women from trying to escape, the suspects reportedly lied and said they knew police officers.

On Mar. 22, one of the women managed to bravely escape. Upon request from local authorities, OUR Rescue provided investigational support alongside three other agencies. The experienced team at OUR helped find multiple bank accounts and home addresses of the suspects, and helped locate where the other women were being held.

Just two days after one woman escaped and notified authorities, two searches were conducted at different homes and the other survivors were able to get out. Authorities say the evidence found will prevent the criminal group, which currently operates in three countries, from expanding into Europe. Arrest warrants have been issued and the OUR Survivor Care team is providing support to all eight women. In early April, four of the survivors were repatriated back to their homes.

Operation Success Story, February 2024:

$8.36 per underage girl. That’s the price a karaoke bar owner was reportedly charging customers to have sex with employees at their establishment. After discovering questionable social media posts, the OUR Operations team used open-source intelligence to find information that indicated at least two employees working at the bar were minors.

We quickly alerted the local police’s anti-trafficking department. On Feb. 3, our Ops team went undercover and confirmed that the business employed not just two but three female employees under the age of 18. OUR work led to a sting operation by authorities, supported by our Operations and Survivor Care teams.

Police arrested the bar owner and rescued two of the minors at a nearby hotel. In collaboration with social welfare, OUR Asia’s Survivor Care staff took the minors, one boy and one girl, to a shelter for further care and support. The bar owner has been charged with human trafficking and their legal proceedings are ongoing.
Europa
OUR Rescue entered in 2021

Operation Success Story, November 2023:

A transnational sex trafficking organization was dismantled in Europe with assistance from OUR Rescue, leading to 14 survivors and nine arrests. In addition to sexually exploiting them, the traffickers would beat and humiliate the survivors, forcing them to shave their heads, sleep on the floor, and more.

With coordination from Europol and alongside the Romanian National Police, OUR supported the National Police of Spain in the rescue of two survivors. Simultaneously, search and arrest warrants were carried out in other parts of Spain and Romania.

Alongside Amar Dragoste, a local NGO in Spain, our Survivor Care team worked to support the survivors, empowering them to find peace, happiness, and new beginnings.
África y Medio Oriente
OUR Rescue entered in 2021

Operation Success Story, March 2023:

In West Africa, a trafficker lured a 19-year-old into a brothel under the pretense of offering her a job in a nearby country. Instead, upon her arrival, she was kept under lock and key, forced to have sex with customers, and beaten when she refused.

After making a bold escape, a kind-hearted local offered the survivor housing and helped her contact local police. While speaking with authorities, she shared that other teenagers were also being sexually exploited by the trafficker.

Upon request, OUR Rescue’s regional team assisted the local police with strategic advice and logistical support to conduct surveillance on the trafficker and brothel in question. Less than two weeks later, police arrested the suspect. Charged with human trafficking, the offender now awaits trial.

Electronic Storage Detection (ESD) K9 Success, December 2023

In Florida, 55-year-old John Downing Jr. was arrested for possessing child sexual abuse material (CSAM). With the assistance of Electronic Storage Detection (ESD) K9 Layla, investigators seized multiple digital storage devices from the Florida home.

Sponsored by OUR and trained through Jordan Detection K9 in 2022, Layla was deployed into the suspect’s home and easily traversed a heavily cluttered room, fitting into tight gaps and corners. The skilled dog located two SD cards that would not have been found via traditional search methods.

Downing Jr. was arrested and charged with 12 counts of child pornography possession. His bond is set at $180,000.Read the impact of another OUR sponsored ESD K9 in Oklahoma here.
