PHILIPPINES
HISTORY:
Since 2012, we have worked with women, men, and children in the Philippines who have suffered abuse, either directly or indirectly as a result of sex trafficking. We also provide educational resources and basic necessities to those who are vulnerable to becoming trafficked.
RESEARCH:
It is estimated that 20-40 million men, women, and children that are enslaved on the earth, and over 60% of victims are located in Asia. Because of natural disasters, poverty, previous wars, and historic reasons, human trafficking has been an issue for many years in this country. The Philippines is a very popular destination for sex tourists and is also one of the top global sources of child pornography. There has also been a continual increase in demand for the online sexual exploitation of children (OSEC), which has been known to target children as young as 2 months old in the Philippines.
NETWORKING:
Rescuing someone from trafficking and leading them into the process of healing and wholeness is a process that requires assistance from many. We partner with the Philippine government, lawyers, churches, volunteers, health practitioners, and other NGO's that are also on the frontlines of ending modern day slavery and its effects.
GIRLS HOME
The girls home will provide aftercare for girls (newborn-17 years) that have been sex trafficked or abused.
NEED: Because there are not many homes for boys that have been sex trafficked/abused, siblings often get separated after being rescued. This girls home will allow siblings to be within close proximity of each other since the girls home will be down the street from our boys home.

BOYS HOME
We have built the first home specifically for boys (newborn -17 years) in the Philippines who have been rescued from sexual abuse and sex trafficking both in person and online.

51% of sexually abused children in the Philippines are boys

The reality is...
Boys typically end up in the foster care system, into an alternative unsafe environment, or back into the hands of their abuser

Statistics
The median age for a child to be trafficked in the Philippines is 11 years old

The reality is...
Boys have less resources than girls when it comes to sexual abuse & trafficking
