The team is praying for the Lord’s favor to be on the hearings that will take place for these cases.

South Asia
Praise God for a recent rescue operation by one of our partners that freed 22 people, including eight children, from bondage at a brick kiln.
These families were trafficked in September 2021 and forced to work in violent conditions until two laborers escaped for help. IJM and our partner quickly brought the case to local authorities, who have rescued the victims and are working on arresting the owner. Please pray this abusive kiln owner and the traffickers are all arrested and tried for their crimes, and please pray for comfort and recovery for the freed families as they return home.
Southeast Asia
Praise God for a long-awaited conviction in the Philippines! After 16 years, two perpetrators were convicted for sex trafficking children.

Please join us in praising God for justice and for the steadfastness of our teams who have seen this case through from day one.
