Two girls rescued in Cambodia

Both girls, 13 and 17 years old, have enrolled in our community care program.

Local law enforcement brought our team in to assist in the case of a 13 year old who was being raped repeatedly by a group of men. Our caseworkers were heartbroken at the level of trauma experienced by this child. We brought her to the hospital and ensured she received necessary medical attention. At the request of government authorities, our caseworkers are advocating for her throughout the judicial process.

“The girl is brave and receives good counseling from our team and the government team,” our caseworker manager in Cambodia said.

158 People Rescued From Labor Trafficking Operation

Destiny Rescue collaborated with authorities to free the captives from an illegal call center.

The victims, 42 of whom were children, had been trapped in a pig butchering operation. Organized criminals lure their targets from all over Asia with the promise of high-paying tech jobs before imprisoning them in the call center. Once trapped, traffickers force the victims to scam others over the phone or online. The hours are brutal, and the pressure is intense; failure can result in torture or being sold into sex trafficking.

For these 158 people, the nightmare is finally over. Our teams helped debrief the survivors before working with authorities to get them home safe. Read more about pig butchering and what we’re doing to help.
