21 Rescued from Human Trafficking in Nepal

Over half of the survivors of these counter-trafficking efforts are children

Most of those rescued were stopped at the Nepal border by our fearless border agents who, after conducting interviews, discovered that the victims had been deceived into crossing by human traffickers. All of those survivors were safely returned to their families after a discussion about the dangers of border trafficking.

Four children were rescued in collaboration with law enforcement as part of a new initiative in Nepal. After rescuing them from sex trafficking operations within massage parlors, all the children were entrusted to a local partner shelter to recover.

The children and young women were rescued from sexual exploitation as part of new operations in Africa. We recently launched rescue operations in a new location, South Africa, and are excited to share about the results of this work!

Field agents located the victims as they canvassed high-risk areas in their search for vulnerable kids. The rescue process is already starting to change lives: all the survivors have entered our Community Care Program, where they’ll learn to move past the trauma they’ve endured.

40 Kenyans—mostly children—are now free from exploitation

36 children and four young adults have been rescued from sexual exploitation in Kenya

While a few were being controlled by a human trafficker, most of the survivors had been driven by desperation to sell themselves to survive. Debt, illness and addiction were common factors that contributed to their financial desperation.

Now, things are different. All 40 survivors have enrolled in our Community Care program. This program takes a holistic approach to addressing the vulnerabilities that led to their exploitation so that these survivors will be equipped to live a life of sustainable freedom.
