Kentucky Rescue & Restore

After drug dealing, human trafficking is tied with the illegal arms industry as the second largest criminal industry in the world today. Since its inception in February 2008, KY Rescue and Restore (R&R) has worked every day to battle the horrific effects of human trafficking. However, without a substantial web presence, R&R lacked a central location to direct trafficking victims on how to receive help. DBS>Interactive was selected as a strategic partner and was charged with designing a thought-provoking, cutting-edge website that would act as a central portal for human trafficking information and resources.
The core of R&R’s mission is to raise awareness about human trafficking, but to do so, people need to be emotionally involved.
At the core of R&R’s mission is to raise awareness about human trafficking, but to do so, people need to be emotionally involved. DBS>Interactive’s design features gritty and emotive imagery, which was chosen to supplement the high-contrast design and ensure an unforgettable and eye-opening user-experience. The KY Rescue and Restore project presented DBS with the chance to give back to the community, in addition to allowing the design team the opportunity to showcase their ability to innovate using CSS 3 elements, such as CSS columns and text shadows.
“We have two specific mandates in R&R:
- Raise awareness about human trafficking
- identify and provide direct services to trafficking victims.
We anticipate the website will assist in achieving both of these mandates…Thanks so much to DBS for all of their help!!”-Marissa Castellanos Human Trafficking Project Manager at R&R
