Ep. 6 The Triumph
Bitterness and anger well up in Ruby as she tries to move on with her life. Can she overcome this and truly heal?
A job offer to work in a computer shop was too good of an opportunity for 16-year-old Ruby to pass up.
When she arrived, far from her rural home in the Philippines, she quickly knew something was wrong.
But it was too late. Ruby realized she’d been tricked — trafficked into the dark world of online sexual exploitation of children.
She wasn’t allowed to leave. And no one knew where she was… Yet.
The fight was on — for her and for those determined to find her and rescue her.
This is not a story of a victim – it is one of a fierce survivor.
It is a story of redemption and hope. Today, Ruby is a leader, an advocate and a woman with a mission and a message to share.
