a child from
sexual exploitation.

Send Rescue
We exist to rescue kids from human trafficking and
sexual exploitation and help them stay free.
Rescue
Night after night, our agents enter some of the darkest places on the planet to find and rescue children trapped in sexual exploitation or trafficking.
Reintegration
When we’re able, we identify what made a child
vulnerable to exploitation, and then help them and their family overcome it – and thrive.
If we don’t get to her tonight,
someone else will.
Tonight when you go to bed to sleep, more than one million children go to bed to be abused. Without someone to provide a way out, their abuse continues night after night. You can change her story.
“My life changed…”

It wasn’t easy, but she’s worked hard to turn her life around–and now she’s giving back. Listen to Sally’s story in her own words and let her inspire you, as she has us..
You can help end the nightmare of a life of exploitation for the next child today.
