The little boy who grew up
He was tiny, hungry, and working on the street to survive. Today, Minh is an accomplished young man, but there’s one more thing he wants to do.
Life after
Trafficked at age 13 and enslaved for 5 years, Anh’s rescue led to the discovery that she was pregnant with twins. Today, just months after her return home, she is taking brave steps to rebuild her life.
The next chapter
His mother died when he was a child and he ended up homeless on the streets of Hanoi, but Trong’s life has taken some incredible turns.
Happy endings
Son is a victim of COVID-19. Not that he was infected – neither he nor his family have contracted the virus. Rather, he has ended up on the streets of Hanoi because of the hardships created by lockdown.
May’s story
May was 12 years old when she vanished from her family home. Eleven years later, she found a way to call for help.
Morphing
Human trafficking has not slowed down, despite restrictions on movement caused by the pandemic. Instead, it’s morphing… but into what?
Do we need another hero?
Rescues of people trapped in slavery sound exciting and dramatic. But the ultimate goal is a world free of trafficking, where there’s no need for heroism and daring.
A crooked path
Bui sleeps under a bridge in Hanoi amidst piles of scrap. But he is not to be pitied; his life is filled with hope and courage.
Dark days
Le worked hard to escape poverty and build a future as a tour guide. When coronavirus wiped out her whole industry, she refused to give up hope.
Lockdown
The story of Ha, who was sold into slavery and was living in terror when her city went into lockdown… and her nightmare became even worse.
The boy who walked
As a 7-year-old boy, Tan’s life was so terrifying that he did the only thing he could to escape it: he walked into the jungle, and never turned back.
A shocking revelation
Rescued after 5 years in slavery, Anh was ready to start life over.
