Our approach
Rescue. Investigate. Pursue. Advocate. Restore.
A child who has been rescued needs safety, medical care, psychosocial support, protection from further harm, family support and access to justice. Our approach therefore follows the child beyond the rescue operation and works toward recovery, justice and long-term protection.
