52 children rescued and enrolled in community care

Over the past few weeks, the survivors, ages eight to 17, have attended our initial trauma-rehabilitation program and begun the first steps of their freedom plan.

These rescues occurred in South Asia. Almost all of the survivors were being sexually exploited and abused in exchange for funds needed to survive.

Five of the survivors were eight years old.

Our program in this region focuses on trauma rehabilitation and training programs that help families break free from extreme poverty. In cases where a very young child is rescued, our freedom plan focuses on providing training opportunities for her guardian so that the child can attend school and the family is able to afford necessities such as food and shelter.

15 Girls Choose Freedom from Sex Trafficking

Fifteen children have been rescued from sex trafficking in Southeast Asia.

The girls, who were all under 16 years old, had been lured from their homes with the promise of good jobs in the city. Instead, business owners forced them into exploitative work in bars and massage parlors where they were expected to endure sexual assault by the customers.

Over the course of three months, our undercover agents found each child and built trust before offering freedom. All 15 children have been successfully reunited with their families.

98 rescued from brutal labor trafficking operation

The survivors, including eight children, had been trapped in a call scam center in Asia.

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.
