“Destiny Rescue is an internationally-recognized Christian non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing children trapped in the sex trade. Our vision is to rescue the sexually exploited and enslaved, restore the abused, protect the vulnerable, empower the poor and be a voice for those who can’t speak up for themselves.”
“Posing as customers, our rescue agents seek to win the child’s trust before making an offer to take them to a safe rescue home. Rescued children are taken to safe houses where they sleep safely, receive education, vocational training, counseling and healthcare, spiritual guidance and, most importantly, love. We have Prevention Homes in different countries where we care for at-risk children – often siblings of rescued girls – until they of age to find safe employment or higher education.”
HOW TO SHUT DOWN SEX TRAFFICKERS
“After months of investigation and gathering actionable evidence, Destiny Rescue and the Philippines National Police moved in on a multi bar and brothel compound owned by a retired politician, and conducted an undercover raid. Sixty-seven women were identified by police as victims of trafficking, and rescued. Since this raid in March 2018, Destiny Rescue has found and freed [an additional] 52 trafficked children in the Philippines.”
“The job is relentless. We have to be as hardworking as these pimps. We have to outsmart them, outmanoeuvre them and outthink them. It doesn’t stop. And we won’t stop. Onto the next case… Onto the next rescue… These kids are waiting out there for us.” - Destiny Rescue Undercover Operative
