PROJECT RESCUE
Project Rescue began in 1997 with the goal of “rescuing and restoring” victims of sex slavery around the world, through holistic programs of prevention, intervention and physical, emotional and spiritual restoration, offering aftercare homes, vocational training, after-school programs, night care shelters, HIV/Aids as well as medical clinics and awareness and prevention programs. In 2015, Project Rescue opens its subsidiary in Spain, an initiative that allows us to join forces in this fight.
Phase One
Awareness and Prevention
In Fiet Gratia we have developed different actions that seek to prevent, raise awareness and educate on human trafficking and sexual exploitation. By doing so, we pretend to decrease tolerance to crime and increase social awareness.
We carry out these activities both with the society itself and with interest groups such as volunteers, state security forces, Public Administrations and other social entities. We also train our workers in order to provide them with the necessary tools for the correct development of their functions.
Phase Two
Detection and identification
Women victims of human trafficking find themselves in different scenarios under conditions of slavery (street advertising, clubs, apartments, ICE). Wherever they are, we mobilize our team to offer them advice and full support. From FIET GRATIA we work actively to detect these people through:
- Detention Center for Foreigners (CIE), in Madrid
- Center for the Temporary Residence of Immigrants (CETI), in Melilla
- Mobile Unit
- Street work
- Visits to apartments, streets and clubs
- Airport borders
- Hospitals
Phase Three
Direct intervention
PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSISTANCE
Specialized therapeutic attention to offer the necessary tools to overcome the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder, which many of the women experience when they arrive at the residential resource.
MEDICAL ATTENTION
Access to medical and dental services which will allow them to overcome pain and any health problems caused by their trafficking situation.
INTEGRATION / RECREATION AND LEISURE
Actions aimed to the self-care of these women through sport activities, recreational outings, etc.
SOCIAL AND LABOR ASSISTANCE
Elaboration of labor insertion itineraries based on previous skills training, in coordination with other organizations dedicated to this area.
MOTHER-AND-CHILD CARE
In the residential resources where we have places for minors, we have a specific Mother-Educational Intervention Program, in order to provide mothers with the necessary tools to develop a healthy motherhood.
VOLUNTARY RETURN
We work in an international network, so we coordinate with other organizations and resources in the origin countries of these women who decide to return voluntarily
LEGAL ASSISTANCE
Legal and administrative advice and assistance
