What is Child Rescue?

Some children have no parents, no community framework or support network within which to live. Child Rescue helps free vulnerable children from trafficking and abuse and rehabilitates those who’ve escaped brothels or factories. Many are homeless; trying to survive on the streets, so our support is vital to their recovery and hope for a brighter future.

Who does Child Rescue help?

Trafficked children...
Each day, there are children all over the world being tricked, kidnapped, lured and sent into child labour, combat or the sex industry.

Child labourers...
Some 250 million children are forced into cheap, illegal labour. They do not hold rallies or have union protection. We don’t see them or hear about their suffering.

Child prostitutes...
Around 10 million children, mainly girls, are sexually exploited. A further one million children find themselves in the commercial sex trade each year.
