14 girls rescued in Cambodia in one month
In May, 14 girls, ages 13 to 19, were rescued in Cambodia - the highest number of rescues in a month since lockdowns began in 2020.
Rescue and reintegration teams in Cambodia collaborate to rescue children from the sex industry.
Our training-on-the-job program provides safe jobs for survivors* after rescue. We pre-emptively line up these roles to enable survivors to leave the sex industry without being left financially vulnerable.
Learn more about this approach by reading Makara’s story, a survivor from Cambodia this year.
*Survivors younger than legal working age are enrolled in school while a family member receives job training.
