66 souls rescued at the Nepal border
66 people, including 24 children, were rescued over the course of June and July in Nepal.
One of the women rescued had her 4-year-old daughter with her, who invariably would have suffered the same fate as her mother. Two brothers, just 9 and 14 years old, were also rescued from a man claiming to be their uncle.

Our agents collaborated with law enforcement in multiple operations across Asia to rescue people from international human trafficking. Most were lured out of their home countries when traffickers made false promises of good, well paying jobs. Once in the traffickers’ control, many victims were sexually abused before being forced into labor or sex trafficking.
Thanks to our agents’ involvement in gathering intelligence, performing interviews and helping with travel, all the victims (including 23 children) have been safely returned to their home countries.

Our stalwart border agents kept traffickers from escaping out of the country with 52 victims. 23 of the survivors are children, some as young as 13 years old.
