Two cases rescue 85 from International Human Trafficking in Asia

85 people have been returned to their home countries after rescue from international trafficking, resulting from two cases over a six-week span.

Our agents collaborated with law enforcement in multiple operations across Asia to rescue people from international human trafficking. Most were lured out of their home countries when traffickers made false promises of good, well paying jobs. Once in the traffickers’ control, many victims were sexually abused before being forced into labor or sex trafficking.

Thanks to our agents’ involvement in gathering intelligence, performing interviews and helping with travel, all the victims (including 23 children) have been safely returned to their home countries.

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.

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.
