Five girls rescued in Thailand and Cambodia
Raid and covert rescue operations brought freedom to five minors.
In collaboration with police in Thailand, three girls were rescued from sex trafficking. They were between the ages of 14-17 and had been deceived with the promise of waitressing jobs.
In Cambodia, two girls, ages 13 and 15, were rescued from environments grooming them for sexual exploitation. It is with great joy we share that our agents found and rescued both children before abuse had the chance to occur.
