Covert operations in two countries in South East Asia rescue nine teens

Eight children and one 18-year-old girl have been rescued from sex trafficking in South East Asia.

Rescue agents go undercover in bars and on the street and search communities for sexually exploited minors. Once found, we offer children a way out and assist them to safety. Nine girls bravely accepted this offer of freedom. Four have enrolled in our community care program and five were reunited with their families.

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.

Agents helped police rescue 15 kids from abusers over the course of several weeks

Most of the children suffered domestic sexual abuse from someone close to them before our agents’ investigations led to police intervention. The series of operations led to 13 arrests, including one man who’d forced a 15-year-old girl into marriage. With their abusers behind bars, the kids are now all home safe.

16 children and three young adults are free from sexual exploitation in Zimbabwe.

Nineteen Zimbabwean victims of exploitation became survivors after joining the local Destiny Rescue program.

While most of the survivors had been forced to sell themselves in order to afford basic necessities, one 15-year-old girl had also been under the control of a human trafficker. A myriad of factors led to their desperation, from family illness to hunger to homelessness. The resulting vulnerability forced them into a situation they never wanted.

Now, those vulnerabilities are being addressed in our Community Care Program so that these women and girls can continue to live free. Celebrate their freedom with us today!

36 Freed from Human Traffickers

Four raids rescued 36 women from the criminals who trafficked them in the Philippines.

In our quest to identify kids in need of rescue, we don’t turn a blind eye when our investigations reveal adults caught in the grip of human traffickers.

Criminals took advantage of these women’s financial vulnerabilities to sexually exploit them for profit. Our team worked with local law enforcement to organize four separate raids to rescue them and bring their traffickers to justice.

After the raids, most of the women were returned to their homes while a few began their recovery in the care of government caseworkers. Five traffickers were arrested and are awaiting trial for their crimes.
