Seven girls rescued in Cambodia

Covert agents find and rescue seven girls, ages 15 to 19, from the sex industry in Cambodia. Each survivor has enrolled in community care.

Our team searches for children in beer gardens and karaoke television bars at night in Cambodia. Once identified, our agents build their trust before putting her in contact with our caseworkers.

At the meetings, our team speaks gently and encourages the children. We help girls and their families see the danger of the sex industry and how they can achieve freedom from it.

Once rescued, survivors return to a safe living situation within their communities where they follow their Freedom Plans. We also help them return to school, learn new skills or find employment.

Caseworkers visit survivors often after rescue to help navigate their next steps.

69 Rescued from Human Traffickers

69 people, including 31 children, were rescued before they were trafficked across the Nepal border.

Traffickers use a variety of tactics, from romantic grooming to fake job postings, to lure their targets out of Nepal. Once out, the victims are sold into brothels or labor trafficking, cut off from help in a foreign land.

But these 69 survivors are safe! After being counseled on how criminals trick their targets, they all returned home to their families. One even pressed charges against her trafficker, despite the risk of incurring social stigma. That trafficker was arrested.

48 rescued from traffickers at the Nepal border

Eighteen kids and 30 adults were stopped before human traffickers could get them out of the country.

Among the survivors were two girls, aged 13 and 17, traveling with a woman who’d instructed them to lie when they reached a checkpoint. When our agents interviewed the girls, they noticed that their stories didn’t match. The traffickers had promised the girls good jobs on the other side but likely planned something much worse.
