ABOUT US
At the Anti-Trafficking Bureau (ATB), we believe that rescue is just the beginning. True freedom comes through love, compassion, and long-term support that transforms victims into survivors—and survivors.
ATB is at the forefront in combating human trafficking, relentlessly working to dismantle the complex networks behind it. Their work often exposes them to the darkest aspects of humanity, where traffickers use coercion, violence, manipulation, and deception to exploit victims for forced labor or sexual exploitation. Despite these daunting obstacles, ATB agents remain unwavering in their mission to end trafficking and secure justice for survivors.
ATB proudly holds the distinction of being the first registered nonprofit in the Dominican Republic dedicated to investigating all forms of human trafficking since 2017.
We are dedicated to rescuing women, men and children from the horrors of human trafficking, and providing them with the support and resources they need to rebuild their lives with hope and dignity. Our mission is urgent and vital, and your involvement can help us amplify our impact.

Phillip Koontz
Former Navy SEAL
"As a former Navy SEAL, I’ve witnessed both the darkest aspects of humanity and the strength of the human spirit. After transitioning to civilian life, I sought a meaningful way to serve again—and found it with the Anti Trafficking Bureau (ATB). Joining ATB, an organization leading the fight against human trafficking, reignited my sense of purpose. The team’s unwavering dedication to protecting the vulnerable and restoring lives has been nothing short of inspiring."

“I have known Fernando for several years now and worked operationally with him and ATB in the Anti Human-Trafficking realm. He is one of the most dedicated Soldiers of Christ I have had the privilege to know. His knowledge, skill and experience not just in Anti Human-Trafficking, but in tactical, operational and strategic operations is incredible.”
