Today on #HumanRightsDay, we have an opportunity to remember the importance of human rights as we work to recover from the effects of COVID-19 as a global community. Even through the pandemic, children have continued to be trafficked and exploited. Their fundamental human rights are violated by the predators and traffickers who seek to harm them. Earlier this year in Southeast Asia, O.U.R. Operators worked with law enforcement to go undercover and investigate a brothel suspected of selling children for sex. Their suspicions were verified when the house madam was eager to provide small children to our operators. This story is punctuated by the irony that the madam, believing our operators to be paying customers, provided them with face masks and hand sanitizer before giving them access to the unprotected children. These children are left vulnerable to atrocities that are arguably far more devastating than any virus could inflict. The O.U.R. Operators, along with law enforcement, were able to successfully free the children from the horrors of exploitation. They are now receiving proper aftercare. Children are not for sale.
