What is Operation Underground Railroad?
Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.) is a privately run organization focused on supporting operation and aftercare efforts to combat human trafficking and child sexual exploitation across various countries and within the U.S. States. Leveraging a team of highly experienced current and former law enforcement, military, and intelligence personnel, O.U.R. collaborates closely with foreign governments and their law enforcement agencies to develop intelligence, assist in enforcement operations, and facilitate rescue efforts.

The organization aims to build long-term relationships with international partners, working in tandem with O.U.R. Aftercare to ensure comprehensive support for rescued individuals.
