The global sex industry is an adaptable evil. As it evolves to feed an unabated demand around the world, our organization is continuously facing new challenges to fight child sex trafficking.

Our focus remains steady on rescuing children across the world and helping them stay free. To do this, our programs, initiatives and missions must be agile and adapt to overcome whatever traffickers might throw at us next.

Rescue was not forgotten in 2020
We rescued 751 people across six countries in southeast Asia and the Dominican Republic last year. Because of our supporters, dedicated team members and God’s provision, hundreds of people who were caught in the darkness of sexual exploitation were given freedom and hope.

Raid rescues vary in scope and size. Some have rescued up to 81 people while others have rescued one person. Last year, our agents targeted pimps, sex trafficking rings, rapists, hotel and bar owners, labor traffickers and those engaging in online sexual exploitation of minors.

After a raid, local government social workers decide where the survivors will live. Our teams provide transport and help meet the immediate needs of survivors who are transiting between the place of rescue and their shelter. Notable raids this year included our first cyber rescue, finding a kidnapped girl and the take-down of a notorious pimp in operation corso.

Border rescue
Border rescues in Nepal continued despite the country’s borders being shut down for about three months during lockdown. In the final quarter of last year, we began operations at four more border stations, increasing our total number of stations to ten.

Intervention rescue
Interventional rescue missions are carried out when our agents find and rescue children trapped in exploitation outside of the commercial sex industry. Not limited to the red-light brothel districts, exploitation also happens in communities, on the streets and in family homes. Teams are able to find and offer freedom to children in these situations. This also provides opportunities to educate families and communities in efforts to prevent abuse as well.

Our team in one of our undisclosed locations noticed that children in the country were at a higher risk of exploitation as increased poverty pushed families into more desperate situations.

Last year, we delivered food to reintegrated girls as well as vulnerable communities. Agents used these endeavors to build strong ties in the communities and gather leads about instances of exploitation. These efforts resulted in more rescues! More girls came to live in our homes and are now free from their former lives of abuse.

Rescue remains relentless
Every month last year, children were being found and rescued from exploitation.

Because of you, children have remained on their paths to freedom through shifting regulations and changing routines.

As lockdowns forced our residential home in Cambodia to temporarily close, our volunteers and staff arranged care and shelter for each child. Staff responded to the sudden shift with care and creativity, sending coloring pages, activities and sharing educational resources in social media groups online. When lockdown restrictions relaxed, our home reopened and continues to provide care and shelter for rescued girls.

In one of our undisclosed locations, homes were not required to shut their doors, but lockdowns restricted all movement. House moms and a dedicated teacher remained in each home through a month of strict lockdown. These homes cared for more than 20 children during this time, providing for their daily needs as well as continuing their education.

There is more to celebrate than just the number of rescues this year. There has been difficulty, but still growth and perseverance in our operations around the world. We are humbled to be a part of each survivor’s story and celebrate the unique impact each one can have on the world.

It is for freedom that we have been set free.
