5 Rescued in Raid; One Offers to Help Future Operations!
Five victims were rescued alongside law enforcement in the Philippines.
One 19-year-old was rescued with four children, all of whom were 14 or 15 years old. Our agents helped build the case and assisted with the raid as law enforcement swept in and arrested three traffickers. Those rescued, groomed and conditioned by their traffickers, were at first upset about the arrests before later warming to our caseworkers. One even said she’d like to help survivors like herself feel calm and safe during future rescue operations!
