“I’m finally free. He can never hurt me again.” What a beautiful, yet heart wrenching quote from a very brave 11-year-old girl, who was trafficked by her own father. Chloe first experienced freedom when she was rescued and brought to our partnering aftercare home in South America. Prior to her rescue, her trafficker abused her, sold her to be raped, and forced her to beg on the streets for money. If she did not bring him the amount of money he wanted, he would beat her. This was Chloe’s life as a little girl. She recently testified in court. She did so with amazing courage, strength, and dignity, answering the questions from the judge. Her trafficker was found guilty, and sentenced. Even the judge was horrified, as he stated to the trafficker, “You are one of the most evil people that has ever come into my courtroom.” Chloe’s trafficker can no longer hurt her. Stories like Chloe’s serve as a reminder that if we keep fighting, we can continue to rescue children from human trafficking. (See link in profile for full blog post)
