Who are the missing girls?

All over the world, girls are kidnapped, trafficked and sexually exploited. Out of nowhere, on their way home or on the bus to school. Or they’re lured by so-called romeo pimps. With the promise of love and a bright future, they trick the girls and take them to a brothel. Human traffickers prey on vulnerable, often poor girls and offer them a well-paid job, only to kidnap and sell them. The girl’s family is left devastated, having no idea what happened to their daughter, sister or cousin.

The search

Free a Girl works together with local partners to track down the girls, find them and rescue them. As soon as a girl is reported missing, from the family, a helpline or the police, our team gets to work. We gather information, talk to the family and the community, visit the locations where the girl was last seen. Sometimes if a girl has just been taken, we manage to intercept her, but usually it’s too late. A search can take weeks, sometimes months. Human traffickers are devious and move the girls constantly from one place to another. Once we know for sure where the girl is located, our rescue team heads out to rescue the girl from her hell.
