158 People Rescued From Labor Trafficking Operation

Destiny Rescue collaborated with authorities to free the captives from an illegal call center.

The victims, 42 of whom were children, had been trapped in a pig butchering operation. Organized criminals lure their targets from all over Asia with the promise of high-paying tech jobs before imprisoning them in the call center. Once trapped, traffickers force the victims to scam others over the phone or online. The hours are brutal, and the pressure is intense; failure can result in torture or being sold into sex trafficking.

For these 158 people, the nightmare is finally over. Our teams helped debrief the survivors before working with authorities to get them home safe. Read more about pig butchering and what we’re doing to help.

15 Rescued in South Asia

14 girls and one 19-year-old woman rescued from various forms of sex trafficking in South Asia

Our team in South Asia used their wide-ranging expertise to rescue the children and young woman from their abusers. Most of the survivors had been under the brutal control of their traffickers, but one was a victim of rape and another was forced into selling herself just to survive.

Several of the girls were rescued when rescue agents went undercover to offer them a chance at freedom. Agents collaborated with law enforcement to rescue the rest, including one raid that rescued 8 victims.

All of the survivors were returned home (some in other countries) or given a new, safe place to live.

Three traffickers were arrested during the operations. Thanks to our team’s collaboration with local authorities, those criminals can no longer harm children.
