1. FIND

Our agents work tirelessly using a variety of tactics to find exploited children and then remove them from harm, at times in collaboration with law enforcement, using tactics that could include:

• Undercover or online investigations
• Canvassing and building trust within high-risk communities
• Conducting interviews at trafficking hotspots
• Acting upon information brought to us by individuals or agencies

2. RESCUE

Every rescue situation is unique, but our most common
operation types include:

Raids and Law Enforcement Collaboration
Rescue teams participate in case-building and rescue operations in collaboration with law enforcement.

Covert Operations and Rapport Building
Covert agents work undercover, or field agents work in high-risk communities to build trust, then rescue children trapped in exploitation.

Border and Transit Monitoring
Rescue agents monitor routes out of the country, stop and interview travelers and rescue individuals from active trafficking situations.

3. NEXT STEPS

Post-rescue, a survivor’s next steps are determined based on his or her unique situation, including the vulnerabilities that led to exploitation and local legal procedure.

Enroll
Enrollment in an individualized Destiny Rescue Freedom Plan™ implemented in one of our residential homes or through our Community Care program, which enables the child to live at home while participating in services. Freedom Plans include health checks, post-rescue training to help survivors begin moving past trauma and economic empowerment solutions.

Reunify
Reunification with family, which may include international travel, accommodation curation and assistance with legal documentation. In some cases, we can follow up with survivors in the months after reunification.

Entrust
Entrusted to government agencies and their standard processes or another local organization offering appropriate services. Follow-up in these circumstances is limited as organizations and governments work to protect children and their privacy.
