Cambodian girl rescued before she could be exploited

A 15-year-old girl was preparing to work the city nightlife when our agents stepped in.

Desperate to pay off family debts, she was looking for a job when some villagers suggested she move to the city and work at night for good money—which is commonly sex work. Our agents acted quickly, finding her a stable job. Now, instead of being abused every night by predators, she is working safely at a local bakery.

It can be very difficult for girls to get out of bars and brothels. To read about how one girl became a rescuer to save her sister, read more on our blog.
