Reaching Out Romania (also simply called Reaching Out, abbreviated ROR) is a non-governmental[1] charitable organization[2] in Romania that helps girls ages 13 to 22 exit the sex industry.
[3] ROR rescues these girls from the Moldovan and Romanian mafia, which have normally trafficked the girls out of Romania and into Western Europe.
[4] ROR runs a facility in Pitești that offers life skills-based education to these girls,[5] teaching them to do things such as painting and sewing.
[6] This safe house hides the girls from their traffickers.
[7] The organization was founded in 1999[8] by Iana Matei, who was named European of the Year in 2010 by Reader's Digest.
