Rebuilding
Our mission is to show victims of sexual exploitation and/or sex trafficking that they have been redeemed, help them on their journey to being restored, and aid them and their families in the process of rebuilding their lives.
Led by a founder who overcame her history as a victim of sexual exploitation, our approach is always informed by real-world experience and centered around boots-on-the-ground action.
Our founder’s history as a victim of sexual exploitation offers her incredible insight into how to best address sex trafficking in Las Vegas and—most importantly—help its victims heal. An in-depth understanding of industry tactics and an innate ability to connect with other victims allows us to be extremely effective advocates.
We know creating change that lasts starts with healthy relationships. From providing medical services and safety to financial support and therapy, everything we do is designed to help both victims and those around them heal together.
We take a hands-on, boots-on-the-ground approach to addressing sex trafficking in Las Vegas. From connecting with girls at strip clubs, porn conventions, or any place of exploitation to physically helping women escape, we believe the only way to change the world is from within it.
From helping law enforcement groups understand trafficking signs to aiding medical professionals as they address a victim whose abuser is right outside of the hospital door—we work to ensure our community’s key players understand this nuanced industry.
Our outreach efforts range from working with children for prevention to giving legal testimony and consulting with law enforcement. Learn More→

She is more precious than rubies; and all the things you may desire cannot compare with her
In this scripture, “she” is not referencing a woman—but wisdom. At RubiesLV, we believe wisdom is the key to effectively addressing sex trafficking in Las Vegas and helping victims heal. Through wisdom, we aim to help industry victims see their true value—and help our community understand this powerful industry.
An estimate from the International Labour Organization—81% of them are trapped in forced labor; 25% of them are children; 75% are women and girls.
The International Labor Organization and Walk Free Foundation estimate there are 4.8 million people trapped in forced sexual labor and exploitation globally.
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children estimated in 2017 that 1 in every 7 of endangered runaways reported to them were likely victims of sex trafficking.
