Reporting Period: February – March 2026
1. Introduction
This report outlines the recent activities, achievements, and challenges of the Liberia Anti-Trafficking Scam and Victim Support Initiative in combating human trafficking, scam-related exploitation, and providing support to victims.
The organization remains committed to rescuing vulnerable Liberians, promoting human dignity, and strengthening community awareness through advocacy and intervention programs.
2. Background and Mandate
The Liberia Anti-Trafficking Scam and Victim Support Initiative was established to respond to the growing threats of human trafficking, online scams, and cross-border exploitation affecting Liberian citizens.
Our mandate includes victim rescue, rehabilitation, reintegration, legal support, advocacy, and collaboration with national and international partners.
3. Major Achievements

The organization successfully facilitated the return of 22 victims from Freetown, Sierra Leone to Liberia in two batches:
First Batch: February 10, 2026 – Five (5) victims
Second Batch: March 1, 2026 – Seventeen (17) victims
Upon arrival, victims received transportation support, counseling, basic welfare assistance, and guidance for reintegration into their families and communities.
3.2 Law Enforcement Collaboration and Investigation
Through coordinated efforts with security authorities, the organization provided vital information that led to the arrest of ten (10) suspects linked to trafficking and scam-related activities.
These suspects are currently undergoing investigation at the Monrovia Central Police Station.
The organization continues to support investigations by providing victim statements, documentation, and technical assistance where required.
4. Ongoing Activities
The organization is actively engaged in the following programs:
Identification and rescue of victims
Psychosocial counseling and trauma support

Improved safety and wellbeing of rescued victims
Increased public awareness on trafficking and scam risks
Strengthened cooperation with law enforcement agencies
Disruption of trafficking and scam networks
Enhanced community trust in victim support services
These outcomes demonstrate the organization’s growing role in national protection efforts.
6. Challenges and Constraints
Despite notable progress, the organization continues to face serious challenges, including:
Limited and unstable funding sources

These constraints reduce the organization’s capacity to expand its services and respond promptly to emergencies.
7. Resource and Financial Situation

Urgent financial investment is required to strengthen institutional capacity and ensure continuity of services.

11. Conclusion
The Liberia Anti-Trafficking Scam and Victim Support Initiative has demonstrated strong commitment through the successful repatriation of 22 victims and the support of investigations involving 10 suspects.
However, sustaining and expanding this work requires urgent financial and institutional support. The organization therefore calls upon the Government of Liberia, development partners, and well-meaning individuals to support this humanitarian mission.
