31 people were rescued from human traffickers at the Nepal Border
Our heroic border agents stopped human traffickers from escaping the country with 31 victims!
The traffickers had targeted victims of all ages, most of whom were young adults, but we also managed to rescue 5 children. Two of the children, just 2 and 7 years old, were being trafficked out with their mothers.
Traffickers in Nepal lure their victims with promises of love, lucrative careers, or a better life. Once our agents shed light on their true purpose, victims and their families rarely prosecute the criminals because of the shame that comes with the admission.
But one of these brave families decided to press charges this time, and the trafficker was arrested! We hope more families will follow their lead in putting these traffickers behind bars. You can read more about Rescue at the border on our blog.

An international crime organization lured their victims with the false promise of a good job before locking them in a guarded compound and forcing them to work inhumane hours in a scam center.
The victims were confined, threatened and physically assaulted as they scammed victims for all they’re worth over time—a practice generally known as “pig butchering.” Some of the women were sexually abused.
Now, that nightmare is over. After helping free them, we aided local authorities in the repatriation process, ensuring the survivors returned home safely.
