“I believe this a crime worse than murder. You will live with the trauma for the rest of your life.”

New shocking research estimates that 1 in every 100 children in the Philippines was trafficked to produce new child sexual exploitation materials in 2022.

The demand for this brutal crime is driven by Western countries like the UK – the third largest global consumer of livestreamed abuse.

Child trafficking and abuse is happening right now. We urgently need your help to stop it.

There couldn’t be a better time to help bring children to safety from abuse.

Azalea recalls trying to hide her face every time she was forced in front of the computer.

“This is probably one of the longest and most challenging cases, with a heartbreaking story... Azalea was involved in the worst form of sexual abuse and live streaming I’ve heard.” – Jessa Lazarte, IJM social worker

One American man even travelled to the Philippines to abuse her in person.

Right now, children are desperately hoping to be found and brought to safety from abuse. This Christmas, you can be part of a movement bringing hope and freedom to children experiencing trafficking and abuse.

Thanks to the support of people like you, IJM worked with police to bring Azalea to safety. We provided her with vital aftercare to help her heal and legal support to pursue justice.

Today, Azalea is a powerful advocate for ending online sexual exploitation of children, and she’s inviting us to join her.

“I want to tell those from the UK that I hope they’re able to help us. Because it’s really heartbreaking to know that there are children who have not been removed from this type of crime.”
