Fundación Renacer

Fundación Renacer is a Colombian non-governmental organization whose stated mission is to contribute to the eradication of the commercial sexual exploitation of children and adolescents (known in Spanish by the acronym ESCNNA). Based in Colombia, the organization works on prevention, protection, and access to justice for child and adolescent victims of sexual exploitation and human trafficking, and it operates through partnerships with public institutions, international cooperation programs, and the private sector. The organization's public profile is built around advocacy, legal tools, and awareness campaigns. Its website describes a legal guide on trafficking and sexual exploitation produced jointly with Colombia's Fiscalía General de la Nación (Attorney General's Office), offering judicial and jurisprudential tools for handling crimes of trafficking, exploitation, and sexual violence against minors. It also maintains repositories of legal fact sheets and court rulings organized by offense, intended to strengthen the judicial response and the guarantee of victims' rights. Fundación Renacer participates in the Child Protection Compact (CPC) alliance between the governments of Colombia and the United States, and it has collaborated with the Mayor's Office of Cartagena de Indias on events tied to the International Day against Sexual Exploitation and Trafficking in Persons. It has also sustained an alliance with the airline Avianca and the Fiscalía General de la Nación to strengthen prevention of human trafficking in Colombia. A recurring theme in its work is the international code of conduct for the protection of children and adolescents against sexual exploitation in travel and tourism, through which it engages tourism-sector companies. The organization's homepage carries a prominent warning that it does not sell construction materials and that such offers are a scam, indicating that its name has been misused in fraudulent schemes. Its communications emphasize emergency contexts — such as earthquakes — as moments when children and adolescents become more vulnerable to trafficking and sexual exploitation. Fundación Renacer presents itself as part of a broad coalition of state, international, and private actors working toward a world free of the commercial sexual exploitation of children and adolescents.

Fundación Renacer is a Colombian non-governmental organization that works against the commercial sexual exploitation of children and adolescents. Its stated aim, as recorded in public knowledge bases, is to contribute to the eradication of the commercial sexual exploitation of children and adolescents. The organization is based in Colombia and operates nationally through partnerships with state institutions, international cooperation, and private companies. A central pillar of its work is legal and judicial strengthening. Together with Colombia's Fiscalía General de la Nación, Fundación Renacer produced a legal guide on trafficking and sexual exploitation, described as a publication built from legal and jurisprudential analysis of human trafficking and the commercial sexual exploitation of children and adolescents. The guide gathers tools and orientations to strengthen judicial handling, with emphasis on understanding criminal offenses, procedural actions that guarantee victims' rights, application of the pro infans principle, and comprehensive reparation. The organization also maintains a repository of legal fact sheets and referenced court rulings, organized by offense, to support those working on crimes and rights violations against children and adolescents. Fundación Renacer is active in prevention and awareness. It promotes an international code of conduct for the protection of children and adolescents against sexual exploitation in travel and tourism, and invites tourism-sector companies to join it. Its homepage highlights the number of children and adolescents served and the number of tourism-sector companies engaged, presenting these as measures of its reach. The organization works within the Child Protection Compact (CPC) alliance between the governments of Colombia and the United States. In September 2026, the Mayor's Office of Cartagena de Indias and Fundación Renacer, within the CPC framework, held the fifth edition of the La Muralla ¡Soy Yo! awards, tied to the International Day against Sexual Exploitation and Trafficking in Persons. The organization has also sustained an alliance with the airline Avianca and the Fiscalía General de la Nación to strengthen prevention of human trafficking in Colombia, reaffirmed on the World Day against Trafficking in Persons. Its public communications address emergency contexts. In August 2026, following an earthquake in Colombia, Fundación Renacer published guidance on protecting children and adolescents from trafficking and sexual exploitation during emergencies, noting that such events can cause fear, displacement, family separation, and changes in care networks. The organization's homepage also carries a warning that it does not sell construction materials and that such offers are a scam, reflecting efforts to protect its name from fraudulent misuse.
