28 People Rescued at Nepal’s Border

Border agents were able to intercept 28 victims, including 11 children, who were in the process of being trafficked out of Nepal in hopes they could never be found.

Traffickers will spend months building fake relationships with Nepali women and girls before luring them out of the country with false promises, only to sell them to brothels as soon as they cross the border.

Fortunately, these women and kids won’t suffer that fate. Our border agents intercepted them before they could cross, counseling them on the dangers of human trafficking before sending them safely home.

37 Rescued from Human Traffickers in the Philippines

Rescue agents helped law enforcement on three separate cases to rescue 37 human trafficking victims in the Philippines.

Most of the victims had been under the control of human traffickers who advertised them in an online catalog for sex tourists. The other two cases involved the online exploitation of children, mostly boys.

Thanks to our agents’ collaboration with law enforcement, two traffickers were arrested. The adult survivors returned home to recover with their families, while most of the children were entrusted to government shelters where they will receive extensive post-trauma treatment from licensed caseworkers.

18 Children Rescued in South Asia

The kids are now all recovering together in our Residential Home.

All of the girls faced desperate circumstances, from neglect at home to family illness, that made it difficult to even afford food. With nowhere else to turn, the girls were forced to sell their own bodies just so they could buy food. Three of the children lived in homes where a family member engaged in sex work, putting them at dire risk of abuse.

Our agents gave the children another option. In the Residential Home, the children will not only work through the trauma they endured, but also be equipped with vital vocational skills that will help them achieve financial independence, ensuring they never have to resort to exploitation again.

The children are recovering through our Community Care Program

All of the children, as well as one young adult, were driven to exploitation by dire circumstances. Crippling debt, crushing poverty and parents with addictions were all contributing factors to their desperation.

Now, the survivors are being equipped to live in safety and freedom. Beyond providing their immediate physical needs, our Community Care Program will help survivors deal with their trauma while also addressing the vulnerabilities that led to exploitation in the first place.

10-year-old girl rescued

Her father was sexually abusing her, and her mother didn’t believe her.

Trigger Warning: Suicidal thoughts and sexual abuse

10-year-old Olivia had been acting strangely for months. She seemed angry and withdrawn, and her teacher grew concerned. One day, the fire department had to rescue the young child after she climbed a nearby electrical tower, showing a disturbing lack of concern for her own well-being. Her teacher patiently earned Olivia’s trust until one day, when Olivia revealed that her father had been sexually abusing her. Confused and in pain, Olivia had begun acting out in a silent cry for help. When her mother was told, she dismissed Oliva, telling the teacher that the child liked to make things up. But Olivia’s teacher took the case to the authorities anyway. The ensuing investigation, supported by Destiny Rescue, revealed tragic evidence of little Olivia’s sexual abuse and neglect. Olivia’s father was arrested, and she was taken to a shelter. She has a long road ahead of her, but loving caseworkers and mental health professionals are on her side, helping her overcome.
