Solenn’s Story
Solenn was only 12 when she was first sexually abused in front of a desktop computer. She was too young to understand. It took her over a year to realize the true nature of what was happening.
“Even though they couldn’t touch me, I still felt really disgusted,” she told an IJM caseworker. But she was trapped; she felt like she couldn’t stop. “Sometimes there really isn’t much choice.”
Solenn’s story is one of many in places like the Philippines, where traffickers take advantage of strained justice systems to freely exploit children online for profit.
Because of supporters like you, our IJM team and local law enforcement finally found Solenn and brought her to safety. With your help, we can protect more children like her and put an end to trafficking for good.
