2016 saw our largest rescue ever. 564 slaves were freed in one single rescue operation from a kiln in India. We had our largest graduation ever from our aftercare program—820 women, men and children celebrated their new lives in India. We had our very first conviction for cybersex trafficking, a devastating new form of slavery that traumatizes young children who are sexually exploited in front of a webcam for an online audience. And we began fighting another type of slavery, labor trafficking, in Cambodia, building on the successes that have helped significantly reduce sex trafficking of children.
