32 rescued at the border of Nepal

Among those rescued were two cousins, Kasmitha* and Tanavi*.

Not long ago, 21-year-old Tanavi met a 33-year-old man through some relatives. They exchanged numbers and talked now and then. After learning she never finished school and was jobless, he offered her a job with a salary that matched her father’s just over the border.

Tanavi was excited about this and said she would ask her parents. The man insisted she come without telling anyone. He told her she should find friends looking for work and bring them instead.

Tanavi invited her 15-year-old causing Kasmitha to come along and together they snuck away from home at 4am.

Thankfully our staff questioned them at the border and they were rescued before their trafficker could gain complete control of them in a neighboring country. *names have been changed to protect identities

18 Children Rescued from International Traffickers

Eighteen kids were rescued moments before traffickers escaped over the Nepal border with them.

Our brave border agents stopped criminals from trafficking 66 people, 18 of whom were children, out of their home country.

Traffickers will often build relationships with their targets for weeks or months before luring the victim out of the country with the promise of a good job, a better life or even a simple shopping trip.

Over the course of a couple of weeks, our agents stopped and interviewed hundreds of travelers crossing the border to investigate suspicious activity. Thanks to their courageous efforts, these 66 people will never have to face the horrors that often await victims on the other side.

11 Kids Rescued from Sexual Exploitation in Zimbabwe

Eleven girls are now free from selling their bodies to survive.

The girls, all between 13 and 17 years old, faced severe financial distress. Two of the kids had lost a parent and another three were orphans, forcing them to shoulder the strain of caring for themselves and their siblings.

Now, things are different. Each child has enrolled in a Freedom Plan, which will not only enable her to navigate the trauma she’s endured but also equip her to live financially stable. One brave survivor from this project, who’s a young mother herself, said, “Destiny Rescue really gave me hope.”

15 Girls Choose Freedom from Sex Trafficking

Fifteen children have been rescued from sex trafficking in Southeast Asia.

The girls, who were all under 16 years old, had been lured from their homes with the promise of good jobs in the city. Instead, business owners forced them into exploitative work in bars and massage parlors where they were expected to endure sexual assault by the customers.

Over the course of three months, our undercover agents found each child and built trust before offering freedom. All 15 children have been successfully reunited with their families.

98 rescued from brutal labor trafficking operation

The survivors, including eight children, had been trapped in a call scam center in Asia.

An international crime organization lured their victims with the false promise of a good job before locking them in a guarded compound and forcing them to work inhumane hours in a scam center.

The victims were confined, threatened and physically assaulted as they scammed victims for all they’re worth over time—a practice generally known as “pig butchering.” Some of the women were sexually abused.

Now, that nightmare is over. After helping free them, we aided local authorities in the repatriation process, ensuring the survivors returned home safely.
