Raid rescues four from sex trafficking in the Philippines

Three children and one young woman were rescued during a raid in the Philippines.

The young woman was 22 years old, and the girls were all three between 13 and 15 years. Because of this raid with police, they have been pulled out of a trade that, tragically, often results in decades of exploitation. Many exploited women began as children just like these three. We are working closely with the Filipino government to stop the cycle of exploitation. Read more on our blog here.

Baby and Two Kids Rescued from Sex Trafficker

2 Children and Baby Rescued from Sex Trafficker

A baby and 2 kids are safe from a human trafficker who was exploiting the children online.

The criminal was abusing his nieces online for Western predators, charging as little as $40 per session.

When authorities in the US caught one of his American customers, the Department of Homeland Security worked with Destiny Rescue and the Filipino NBI to take the trafficker down.

The 8-year-old siblings and 1-month-old baby were taken to safety by gentle caseworkers. The trafficker fought officers during the arrest, but was eventually taken into custody.

The kids have a long journey to recovery. But thanks to this joint operation, they’re finally ready to begin new, brighter lives!

14 girls and 6 boys have been rescued from exploitation in Kenya. The kids suffered from various types of sexual exploitation, from being controlled by traffickers to suffering sex crimes to being forced to sell their bodies just to earn enough money to survive. A few of the children, including one 3-year-old, were rescued from situations where sex work was happening in their home, putting them at dire risk of exploitation.

Since rescue, all of the children have entered our Community Care program, where they’ll learn to move past the trauma they’ve endured and be equipped to live free.
