Seven children were rescued through our work in Kenya.

While a few were rescued from situations in which they faced the continual threat of sex crimes, most were forced to sell their bodies just to survive. For a look at the typical conditions that drive children to these extremes, read more here.

Two Sisters Rescued from Sexual Abuse

A raid in the Dominican Republic rescued two young sisters.

Local law enforcement asked our team for help investigating this case while the suspect was still at large. Fortunately, our agents helped locate the abuser. After we completed surveillance, the police conducted a successful raid, arresting the criminal.

The two girls are now safe at home with their mother. You can read more about the results of our collaboration with police in the Dominican Republic here: Teamwork Puts Traffickers on Their Heels – Destiny Rescue

22 Children Rescued in Zimbabwe and Kenya

22 girls no longer have to sell themselves just to survive.

The kids, all between 15 and 17 years old, have joined our Community Care program to begin their journey toward freedom. That means that they’ll continue to live with their families while benefitting from our life-changing EMPOWER trauma resilience program, meeting with other survivors and enrolling in vocational training so that they can stay free.

52 Rescued at the Nepal Border

52 people were rescued over a two-week period from traffickers.

Our stalwart border agents kept traffickers from escaping out of the country with 52 victims. 23 of the survivors are children, some as young as 13 years old.

Survivors received counseling about how to spot and avoid traffickers in the future. While most survivors here decline to press charges for fear of suffering negative community stigma, one brave family of an 18-year-old had three female traffickers arrested.

40 People Rescued from International Traffickers

Traffickers were attempting to lure their victims across the Nepal border.

Border agents intercepted 21 women and 19 children as traffickers attempted to lure them across the border and into a life of exploitation. The children were as young as 12 years old and included two boys.

Thankfully, these survivors will never know what the traffickers had in store for them. Once victims disappear across the border, it becomes extremely difficult to find them again. The few that do return tell harrowing stories of abuse and exploitation.
