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.

Five Boys Rescued from Online Exploitation

Our online investigators and rescue agents collaborated with Thai authorities to find and rescue the children.

The boys, who were all between 13 and 15, were sexually exploited online to paying predators around the world. Our agents within The Scientia Program, a cross-NGO initiative that we helped found, used cutting-edge technology and expert investigative techniques to identify and find the kids. The boys are now all recovering at home.

Neighbour arrested for abusing 13-year-old girl in the Dominican Republic

A 13-year-old girl was attending a community event when a 25-year-old man from her neighbourhood approached her. Taking advantage of the child being unattended, the man invited the girl to a local store. On the way, he sexually abused her.

An arrest warrant was issued, but the suspected child abuser remained at large.

With our support, the police found the suspect two months later, following an extensive investigation.

Sadly, an abuser is often someone a child trusts, such as a neighbour, but every child deserves to be safe in the community they call home.

The survivor is recovering safely at home with the support of her family.

27 People Rescued from Human Traffickers in Nepal

16 Children Rescued from Sexual Exploitation

Nine girls and seven boys are now free after being rescued from sexual exploitation in Kenya.

12-year-old boy rescued

A 12-year-old boy was rescued, and his trafficker was arrested.

Recently, when Juma, a 12-year-old boy, traveled several miles outside his village to sell goods at a local market, a man approached him and convinced him to leave his home for a job in another city.

A false promise of a job is a common tactic traffickers use to lure vulnerable victims into exploitation.

An informant became aware of the situation and alerted the police. Juma was successfully located within days and provided valuable information that led to the arrest of the man he had met in the market.
