John,

In the photo at the top of this email is a little girl wearing a Minnie Mouse tank top. It's the kind of thing a child her age should enjoy — along with pretend tea parties and other carefree play. But that has not been her life.

In the photo, the little girl is in the arms of someone rescuing her from sexual exploitation. Online predators around the world have paid to watch her be hurt live on camera ... over and over and over.

Recently, I shared the story of another little girl, Cassie*, and how she was lured into online sexual exploitation when she was just 12 years old.

Every rescue is urgent, and every court case you help our team win sends a strong message to traffickers: We will not turn a blind eye.

Please give today to help make this a year of freedom for children, women and men who are exploited. Your support will help send rescue to victims and restore survivors to wholeness, bring criminals to justice and stop the cycle of violence through stronger justice systems.
