Destiny Rescue is one of several Christian charities with a mission to save children from sex trafficking. In 2024 alone, it raised €12 million, largely from donations in the United States and Australia.
DW's investigative unit traveled to the Philippines, Australia and New Zealand to find out how men working for a child rescue organization could allegedly use the group as cover to gain access to vulnerable minors to exploit.
We interviewed survivors, insiders, law enforcement officials and child trafficking experts and obtained confidential documents, court records and public files that reveal how rescue missions operate outside the law and have put children at risk in the name of rescue — and in at least one case provided cover for suspected abuse.
