10,000th survivor rescued

We're celebrating the milestone of 10,000 rescues.

“Our vision is big, intimidating and optimistic. We want to see the end of child sexual exploitation and slavery in our lifetime. Today, we are celebrating the milestone of 10,000 rescues. Many people have sacrificed greatly to make this possible. Behind every rescue, there are generous donors and passionate fundraisers, dedicated staff members and volunteers, and rescue agents willing to risk it all. All are heroes worthy of our prayers, support and gratitude. We are excited about this milestone because each number represents an actual person with a real name; children and young adults who have been given the opportunity to embrace freedom and pursue their dreams. Let us celebrate this victory together. I thank you all and pray God blesses you abundantly!” – Founder and International President Tony Kirwan

16 children and three young adults are free from sexual exploitation in Zimbabwe.

Nineteen Zimbabwean victims of exploitation became survivors after joining the local Destiny Rescue program.

While most of the survivors had been forced to sell themselves in order to afford basic necessities, one 15-year-old girl had also been under the control of a human trafficker. A myriad of factors led to their desperation, from family illness to hunger to homelessness. The resulting vulnerability forced them into a situation they never wanted.

Now, those vulnerabilities are being addressed in our Community Care Program so that these women and girls can continue to live free. Celebrate their freedom with us today!

36 Freed from Human Traffickers

Four raids rescued 36 women from the criminals who trafficked them in the Philippines.

In our quest to identify kids in need of rescue, we don’t turn a blind eye when our investigations reveal adults caught in the grip of human traffickers.

Criminals took advantage of these women’s financial vulnerabilities to sexually exploit them for profit. Our team worked with local law enforcement to organize four separate raids to rescue them and bring their traffickers to justice.

After the raids, most of the women were returned to their homes while a few began their recovery in the care of government caseworkers. Five traffickers were arrested and are awaiting trial for their crimes.

Diverse efforts rescue 24 from traffickers in Nepal

Nine women and 15 children are free from human trafficking, and two traffickers have been arrested.

New initiatives combined with proven methods are changing lives in Nepal.

Twenty-two women and children were rescued from international traffickers when our border agents intercepted them before they could be lured out of the country.

Meanwhile, deeper within Nepal, a raid in collaboration with law enforcement rescued two children and led to the arrest of two human traffickers. Celebrate their freedom with us today!

Two boys were rescued in Thailand.

A man was abusing the young boys while promising them a career as musicians in a band. The survivors were rescued, and after collaboration with the police, the abuser was arrested.

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.
