Cambodian girl goes to 8th grade instead of bar work

The 16-year-old was about to start work in a beer garden, a business in the region known to groom young girls for sexual exploitation.

The child, Chantu, was discovered by our field agents who worked with her mother to ensure the girl’s safety. Often families are unaware of the risks associated with these jobs so our teams spend dedicated time providing parents with awareness training. Chantu enrolled in our program after rescue and attended our Empower class (pictured) which bolstered her sense of self worth. The financial assistance provided by our program has helped to offset initial education costs and she is now attending school in grade 8.

15 Children Rescued in the Dominican Republic

Agents helped police rescue 15 kids from abusers over the course of several weeks

Most of the children suffered domestic sexual abuse from someone close to them before our agents’ investigations led to police intervention. The series of operations led to 13 arrests, including one man who’d forced a 15-year-old girl into marriage. With their abusers behind bars, the kids are now all home safe.

16 children and three young adults are free from sexual exploitation in Zimbabwe.

Nineteen Zimbabwean victims of exploitation became survivors after joining the local Destiny Rescue program.

While most of the survivors had been forced to sell themselves in order to afford basic necessities, one 15-year-old girl had also been under the control of a human trafficker. A myriad of factors led to their desperation, from family illness to hunger to homelessness. The resulting vulnerability forced them into a situation they never wanted.

Now, those vulnerabilities are being addressed in our Community Care Program so that these women and girls can continue to live free. Celebrate their freedom with us today!

36 Freed from Human Traffickers

Four raids rescued 36 women from the criminals who trafficked them in the Philippines.

In our quest to identify kids in need of rescue, we don’t turn a blind eye when our investigations reveal adults caught in the grip of human traffickers.

Criminals took advantage of these women’s financial vulnerabilities to sexually exploit them for profit. Our team worked with local law enforcement to organize four separate raids to rescue them and bring their traffickers to justice.

After the raids, most of the women were returned to their homes while a few began their recovery in the care of government caseworkers. Five traffickers were arrested and are awaiting trial for their crimes.
