On January 15, 2026, a powerful door opened in Peru that had never existed before.
At the facilities of the Policía Nacional del Perú (PNP) in the Piura Region, Our Rescue and law enforcement officials gathered to inaugurate a Survivor Recovery and Care Facility, built to serve survivors of human trafficking and sexual exploitation.
Until now, Piura did not have a designated space for rescued survivors.
When urgent police operations led to the rescue of women and girls from trafficking situations, there was nowhere appropriate for them to stay. During the first critical hours of legal processing, some slept on the floors of investigative offices with no proper beds.
Local authorities saw an immediate need to urgently give survivors who had just been removed from exploitation the basic standards of safety, dignity, and care.
To fill this gap, the Human Trafficking Investigation Unit (AREINTRAP) formally requested support from Our Rescue to change that reality.
Our Rescue funded the creation of a secure healing space inside the criminal investigation division in Piura. The room is exclusively designated for survivors of human trafficking, ensuring they have the privacy and space for rest during the critical initial stages following their rescue.
The facility now ensures proper sleeping arrangements, privacy, hygiene, and calm. It also allows investigators to conduct urgent procedures while respecting survivors’ rights. In addition, the space temporarily protects minor children who are victims of sexual abuse while appropriate legal and protection measures are implemented.
The inauguration ceremony for the space was jointly organized by the PNP and Our Rescue. Authorities publicly recognized Our Rescue’s contribution to strengthening the region’s response to human trafficking and child sexual exploitation. The President of the Board of Prosecutors of the Piura Region expressed appreciation for our continued operational and survivor care support provided to the Specialized Prosecutor’s Office for Human Trafficking.
This facility does not erase what survivors endured during their situations of trafficking or exploitation.
But it does change what happens next.
Instead of a cold floor in an investigative office, there is a bed.
Instead of waiting in an open workspace, there is privacy.
Instead of uncertainty, there is a designated space prepared for protection and care.
And in Piura, that change is now real.
