11 Rescued from Labor Trafficking in Asia

Two boys and nine men are free from modern slavery thanks to multiple operations by our relentless agents.

Although the cases were separate, the survivors had all been deceived by false job offers, were being controlled by their traffickers, endured harsh working conditions and received little to no pay. Our efforts throughout Asia brought the 11 individuals into freedom.

Our mission is to rescue children from sexual exploitation and human trafficking, which includes labor trafficking. Last year, 15% of survivors we rescued were freed from labor trafficking.

Three Cambodian girls accepted an agent’s offer of freedom.

When our undercover agent offered them a way out, all three girls accepted! They were enrolled in Freedom Plans to help them begin healing from the exploitation they’ve endured and equip them to remain free in the future.

59 Rescued from Human Trafficking in Nepal

Over the course of two weeks, border agents stopped traffickers from luring 59 people across the border.

Traffickers groom or outright deceive their victims into believing that there is something better for them across the border, from high-paying jobs to romance. Over half of this group of survivors met their traffickers online, mostly via social media. 20 of the survivors were children, including two small kids who were traveling with their mother.

All the survivors were reunited with their families.
