6 girls rescued...
Congratulations to the Destiny Rescue undercover teams as one more operation comes to an end, resulting in the rescue of another 6 young girls, all teenagers ranging in age from 14 years up. This brothel had a total of 12 girls and we were able to get all of the underage girls out except one, which we are still working on and will hopefully get out soon. What an awesome outcome! We would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when the pimp turned up to find that half of her income potential had disappeared - priceless!
 As we sat and talked to these children about what they have been through and what their family life was like... very quickly a common theme emerged. Without exception, these girls came from poor hill tribe families struggling to survive. Due to the fact that all parents (except one) were doing hard drugs and all their money was being used to feed their habits, there was no money to keep the girls in school and the girls were left in limbo wondering what could they possibly do to help support their families. They knew they lacked  education so their job prospects were practically nonexistent. They had each tried working in the fields for a little while, like their parents did (when they weren't totally wasted from the drugs), but knew they couldn't do that for the rest of their lives. Then someone they knew turned up to their village and told them of a good job in the city, they were told they would be working in a restaurant serving customers.
Once they got to the bars/brothels they all discovered that there was a second meaning to "serving" the customers. They would have to serve the customers drinks and then they would be made to sit with the men and the men would do as they pleased... One of these young girls said this to us - "I hated how they made me drink, because if a customer bought you a drink you had to drink it and then they felt they could touch me anywhere...".
 Despite the shame and humiliation they felt as they endured the abuse of so many different men (using the term "men" very loosely), they felt a sense of pride when they could help their families. One of the girls told us - "The first time I got paid I was so happy, because I could now send money home to help my family...". Many, if not most hill tribe people have a low self worth, low self esteem. One of the girls said, "Once I started working I understood it was the easiest job for people like me..." she went on to say that many other girls from her village were doing the same thing. As always, there are many operations that are still ongoing and we expect positive outcomes soon, with many new leads being followed. We value your support and prayers as our teams continue to put it on the line to rescue these children. Thank you! |
