On September 4, 2025, a months-long investigation culminated in a successful coordinated operation, dismantling a major human trafficking ring in Bucaramanga, Colombia. CIRF (Children's International Rescue Foundation) operators, working directly on the ground alongside Colombian National Police Detectives, executed the operation, resulting in multiple arrests and the disruption of a criminal network exploiting vulnerable children.
CIRF's aftercare partner, Libertas International, is actively assisting in coordinating and ensuring that the rescued minors receive the essential care and support needed for their long-term recovery. This strategic takedown has significantly enhanced safety in Bucaramanga, delivering justice for victims and reinforcing the city's commitment to protecting its youth from exploitation. The close collaboration between CIRF operators, Colombian National Police, and Libertas International underscores the effectiveness of joint, on-the-ground efforts and comprehensive aftercare in combating human trafficking and fostering a safer future for the community. Thank you for your generous donations to save these children's lives and the lives of those children who would have been taken by this organized crime group in the future.
