Five girls, ages 13 to 17 were rescued and joined our community care program in Cambodia. One 13-year-old girl was rescued from a bar. The others were about to leave their village to begin work in similar establishments. Our agents discovered their situation during village canvassing and were able to take action before the children entered the sex industry. Now enrolled in our programs, the children will all receive care that specifically addresses the vulnerabilities that were pressuring them into exploitation with a customized freedom plan.

Five girls in another country in South East Asia were rescued from trafficking and reunited with their families.

13 Rescued from Human Trafficking

Two children were among 13 rescued from a bar in Thailand after local residents reported suspicious activity.

Their report prompted our team to investigate and eventually raid the establishment alongside law enforcement. In addition to freeing the survivors—some of whom were foreign nationals—one suspect was arrested.

A tip from a Canadian man led to the rescue of eight victims of trafficking

When a Canadian man was offered a live-streamed sex show with an 11-year-old through a dating site, he took the information to the authorities. That action led to freedom for five children and three young adults in the Philippines.

Our agents aided authorities in arresting the trafficker and rescuing those he exploited online. Because one man had the courage to act, those victims are now survivors. Don’t be afraid to act on your suspicions and report to local authorities; your choice could mean everything for a suffering child.

Four children were among those freed during the raid

Our agents worked alongside law enforcement to take down a human trafficker who’d been advertising victims online for sexual exploitation. Beyond the children, four young men were rescued during the operation, a trend we’ve been seeing more of recently. The trafficker was arrested, and all of the survivors are now recovering in a government facility to help them start their new lives in freedom.

Twenty-seven survivors were rescued at the border, and agents collaborated with police to free the rest from traffickers.

As part of their continuing mission, border agents stopped traffickers from escaping the country, rescuing 27 victims in a single week. During the same time, Destiny Rescue agents collaborated with authorities to rescue the rest, resulting in the arrest of two traffickers.

While most of the survivors were reunited with their families, two girls, aged 13 and 15, were entrusted to a local shelter to begin their journeys toward freedom.

4 boys and a girl are now learning to live free since being rescued

Agents found the children begging on the street during their canvassing operations. Further investigation revealed that they’d been forced into begging for money by crippling family debt or crushing poverty. Now that they’ve enrolled in our post-rescue programming, the kids will be equipped to live their own lives in freedom.
