14 rescued in 2 undisclosed Asian countries

13 children in two countries are now free from sexual exploitation!

A 14- and 17-year-old were freed during raids, which also led to the rescue of an 18-year-old girl. 11 other children between 13 and 17 years old chose freedom during undercover operations.

For the safety of our agents and survivors, we currently can’t go public with these two countries. But that doesn’t stop our team from relentlessly seeking out and saving exploited kids. To get a closer look at the heart of our Freedom Fighters, read more on our blog.

3 Kids Free from Exploitation in Cambodia

Three Cambodian girls accepted an agent’s offer of freedom.

The three friends, just 13, 14 and 15 years old, endured endless physical harassment at the hands of bar patrons where they worked. The bar owner allowed customers to accost the children constantly, propositioning them and pressuring them for sex.

When our undercover agent offered them a way out, all three girls accepted! They were enrolled in Freedom Plans to help them begin healing from the exploitation they’ve endured and equip them to remain free in the future.

Over half of this group of survivors met their traffickers online, mostly via social media. 20 of the survivors were children, including two small kids who were traveling with their mother.

All the survivors were reunited with their families.
