40 People Rescued from International Traffickers
Traffickers were attempting to lure their victims across the Nepal border.
Border agents intercepted 21 women and 19 children as traffickers attempted to lure them across the border and into a life of exploitation. The children were as young as 12 years old and included two boys.
Thankfully, these survivors will never know what the traffickers had in store for them. Once victims disappear across the border, it becomes extremely difficult to find them again. The few that do return tell harrowing stories of abuse and exploitation.

Life has changed in a big way for these children. Seven of the girls, who were aged between 13 and 17 years old, had been forced to sell their bodies just to survive. The other five were at dire risk of being sexually trafficked because a parent or guardian was involved in sex work.
Since being rescued, all the children have enrolled in our residential care home. Safe from desperation and dangerous environments, they are recovering from all the trauma they suffered as our loving staff equips them with the vital life and career skills they’ll need to live free.

When our agents interviewed the girls, they noticed that their stories didn’t match. The traffickers had promised the girls good jobs on the other side but likely planned something much worse.
