Child Sex Trafficking

One of the world’s largest and darkest enterprises

The facts

Over 1 million

children are exploited by commercial sexual exploitation

59%

of children trafficked are from the Asia Pacific region

$99 billion

is generated by sex traffickers each year – that’s average of $11 million every hour

Who do we rescue from sex trafficking?

Day and night, agents work relentlessly to search for children trapped in sex trafficking and exploitation and bring them to freedom. In the pursuit of children, we are often given the opportunity to rescue adults out of labor and sex trafficking situations too.

All people are valuable, created in the image of God and worthy of rescue and freedom.

How do we rescue?

Our agents work tirelessly using a variety of tactics to find exploited children and then remove them from harm, at times in collaboration with law enforcement. Trafficking looks different in each region of the world, and each child’s rescue is unique.

Tactics to locate exploited children could include…

• Undercover or online investigations
• Canvassing and building trust within high-risk communities
• Conducting interviews at trafficking hotspots
• Acting upon information brought to us by individuals or agencies

“I don’t need to live at risk to make ends meet for my family. With effort and perseverance, I can live a dignified life and encourage others to do the same.”

KIONI

“Without (rescue), I wouldn’t be here talking about it. [Children] are able to realize that this is not the end of the world. They still have a second chance in life.”

“We only have two choices: do nothing, or do something.”

– Tony Kirwan, Destiny Rescue Founder & International CEO

Anyone can use their gifts, talents and resources, to rescue children.
