23 rescued in Nepal

Our efforts in Nepal secured freedom for 13 children and 10 women.

One girl, age 15, was attempting to cross the border after meeting a woman at a birthday party three days prior. The child was promised a tour and chance to go shopping if she crossed the border alone to meet the woman. She was rescued by our agents at the border and reunited with her family.

Two 15-year-old boys were rescued together at the border as they attempted to leave the country for jobs promised to them by a relative. The relative instructed them to lie if questioned and was unreachable after he learned the boys had been stopped by our agents.

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.

12 Kids Freed from Sexual Exploitation in South Africa

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.
