What does Operation Underground Railroad do?
Our teams, comprised of law enforcement members, intelligence experts, diplomats, and military officers, works globally to combat child sexual exploitation and human trafficking. With decades of combined experience, we are trusted by foreign governments and law enforcement agencies all over the world to provide expertise to assist in rescue operations and premiere resources unavailable to them in addition to essential trainings to amplify their efforts. Our approach involves meticulous undercover work and tactical execution, ensuring intervention only when resources are properly aligned. At O.U.R., we recognize the unique healing journeys of survivors. That is why we provide individualized aftercare services, in collaboration with other NGOs, to support survivors in need. Our resolve never falters, and we will boldly persevere until those in need are safe.
How we fight
Operation Underground Railroad is leading the fight against sex trafficking and child sexual exploitation with three bold strategies.
U.S. Law Enforcement RelationsIn the United States, we fight to protect children in our own backyard by developing relationships with law enforcement agencies and offering resources to expand and amplify their anti-human trafficking and exploitation efforts.
International OperationsThe O.U.R. International Operations team consists of highly experienced and extensively trained former law enforcement personnel, intelligence experts, U.S. diplomats, and military officers who are on the ground doing active investigations in countries across the globe.
AftercareThe O.U.R. Aftercare Team coordinates with the O.U.R. Operations Team to ensure that vetted aftercare services are in place prior to operations. We utilize best practices, trauma-informed care, and provide person-centered services when working with survivors.
O.U.R. Why
It's simple: every man, woman, and child deserves a life free from exploitation. We are in a position to change lives for the better and we fight to make it a reality.
