Protect the Innocence of Children
No child should suffer from online sexual abuse.
Your yearend gift will help restore children like Aaron to safety and freedom.
Aaron* was just two years old when he was rescued from an unthinkable crime in the Philippines.
Everybody deserves a family to enjoy life with. Who would have thought that at certain moments, parents who should supposedly show love and care, unfortunately will cause harm to their own children?
Aaron had been sexually abused by his father, who then sold the exploitation content online for profit. The very person that was meant to protect Aaron was the one profiting from his abuse.
Your help rescues children like Aaron.
It takes many people to make a rescue happen. Your support is vital to gathering evidence, launching investigations, coordinating rescue operations, and arresting perpetrators.
After many months of hard work with IJM’s global partners and local law enforcements in the Philippines, Aaron was finally rescued and the perpetrator arrested.
“He was tiny and fragile – it seemed he longed to be held and cared for.”
-Sheila, an IJM worker who was there at the time of Aaron’s rescue.
After his rescue, Aaron was brought to an Assessment Center to receive trauma-informed care. When Aaron was emotionally ready, he was placed in a loving foster family – a safe environment that has restored his joy and exuberance.
Today, Aaron enjoys playing with cars and anything related to superheroes! Thank you for being a hero to children like Aaron.
