Beautiful things
Six kids hoping to change their lives, but with no money for a home. A football team for street kids with no field to play on. These were the earliest days of Blue Dragon.
Sneak home and pray
Terrified to learn they had been trafficked, two young women took their life into their own hands. But their ordeal was far from over.
The invisible chains of slavery
Mrs. Thu was 32 years old and had a young son when she was trafficked. 28 years later, Blue Dragon rescued her from slavery.
Fairytale endings
Aged 14, Bac walked 150km from his home to the city, hoping to find work. Desperate to survive, his life took some unexpected turns…
Meeting Minh
Overwhelmed with problems, Minh was 15 when she left home and found herself alone on the city streets. A chance encounter changed her life.

Chu and Thuan were sold to a brothel far from home. The trafficker, a woman from their village, never imagined they could escape. She was wrong.
Emergency appeal
Human trafficking is on the rise, threatening to overwhelm Blue Dragon’s resources. But this crisis is also an opportunity to change lives.
Still fighting
Dozens of boys were raped by a foreign doctor. Despite the clear evidence, justice is yet to be fully achieved.

Safe, not sound
Tricked and robbed, Van found himself homeless on the streets of the city. But going home wasn’t the end of his problems…
