Seven girls rescued in Cambodia

Seven girls, ages 15-17 have been rescued in Cambodia and are on their paths to freedom.

They were employed in establishments grooming them for the sex trade. Our agents, familiar with this process, knew it was only a matter of time before these children were sold to customers. We are celebrating that all accepted our offer of freedom and were rescued prior to experiencing abuse!

They have joined our community care program which provides them the opportunities necessary to stay free from exploitation as they pursue their bright futures.
