Raid rescues four from sex trafficking in the Philippines

Three children and one young woman were rescued during a raid in the Philippines.

The young woman was 22 years old, and the girls were all three between 13 and 15 years. Because of this raid with police, they have been pulled out of a trade that, tragically, often results in decades of exploitation. Many exploited women began as children just like these three. We are working closely with the Filipino government to stop the cycle of exploitation. Read more on our blog here.

26 children free in Zimbabwe

26 girls and three young women no longer have to sell their bodies to feed themselves

All of these girls and young women were forced to trade their bodies in exchange for mere survival. Now, they’re getting the chance to see that they’re worth so much more than what cruel men paid for them. After they enroll in our care and enter a Freedom Plan, loving caseworkers will help the survivors navigate the trauma they’ve endured before equipping them with vocational training or their guardians with small businesses so they can become financially independent.

13 Rescued from Human Trafficking

Two children were among 13 rescued from a bar in Thailand after local residents reported suspicious activity.

Their report prompted our team to investigate and eventually raid the establishment alongside law enforcement. In addition to freeing the survivors—some of whom were foreign nationals—one suspect was arrested.

A tip from a Canadian man led to the rescue of eight victims of trafficking

When a Canadian man was offered a live-streamed sex show with an 11-year-old through a dating site, he took the information to the authorities. That action led to freedom for five children and three young adults in the Philippines.

Our agents aided authorities in arresting the trafficker and rescuing those he exploited online. Because one man had the courage to act, those victims are now survivors. Don’t be afraid to act on your suspicions and report to local authorities; your choice could mean everything for a suffering child.

Four children were among those freed during the raid

Our agents worked alongside law enforcement to take down a human trafficker who’d been advertising victims online for sexual exploitation. Beyond the children, four young men were rescued during the operation, a trend we’ve been seeing more of recently. The trafficker was arrested, and all of the survivors are now recovering in a government facility to help them start their new lives in freedom.

34 Rescued in Nepal

Twenty-seven survivors were rescued at the border, and agents collaborated with police to free the rest from traffickers.

As part of their continuing mission, border agents stopped traffickers from escaping the country, rescuing 27 victims in a single week. During the same time, Destiny Rescue agents collaborated with authorities to rescue the rest, resulting in the arrest of two traffickers.

While most of the survivors were reunited with their families, two girls, aged 13 and 15, were entrusted to a local shelter to begin their journeys toward freedom.
