Raid rescues four from sex trafficking in the Philippines
Three children and one young woman were rescued during a raid in the Philippines.
The young woman was 22 years old, and the girls were all three between 13 and 15 years. Because of this raid with police, they have been pulled out of a trade that, tragically, often results in decades of exploitation. Many exploited women began as children just like these three. We are working closely with the Filipino government to stop the cycle of exploitation. Read more on our blog here.

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.

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.
