Our Mission: Whatever it takes for as long as it takes to restore a broken life! Hagar is an international organization dedicated to the recovery of survivors of extreme human rights abuse, particularly human trafficking, gender-based violence, and sexual exploitation. Hagar was established in 1994 in Cambodia to serve individual women and children who had survived human rights abuse. In 2009, Hagar expanded its unique model of long-term, individualized care in Afghanistan and Vietnam. In each unique context, Hagar is committed to the whole person for the long-term: “whatever it takes for as long as it takes to restore a broken life”. Through protection, recovery, empowerment and community integration, Hagar walks with each woman and child on their journey towards wholeness.
