Online sexual exploitation of children destroys lives.
Together with partners, we support survivors to rebuild them.
These are the stories that compel us to keep fighting.
JOY'S STORY
Forced to hide a dark secret from a young age, Joy* was one of thousands of children in the Philippines trapped in the online sexual exploitation of children.
Joy dreamed of going to school and being a nurse. But most of all, she wished to be reunited with her family. She remembers, “My big dream for myself and for my family is what kept me alive.”
“But all of this changed when I was 10 years old,” she continues.
RUBY'S STORY
Every young girl dreams of making her mark in the world.
For Ruby*, she thought this would begin when she was given the chance to prove her independence.
An opportunity came when a recruiter sent her a private message on social media, offering her to be one of their staff in a computer shop.
Imagine Ruby’s dismay when she discovered that the work she was about to do was far from what she was offered.
