2 organ trafficking victims spared #shorts #humantrafficking

A man and a woman in the Philippines have been spared from having their kidneys trafficked! Two women who planned to sell and profit from the victims’ organs have been arrested.

This case came to The Exodus Road because of a survivor’s courage. A local media organization in the Philippines created a documentary about organ trafficking. In the production process, a survivor whose organ was illegally taken and sold shared information about an illicit organ trafficking business. The media outlet contacted authorities, who reached out to The Exodus Road and asked for support on the case.

The Exodus Road’s Philippines team helped law enforcement plan the mission and accompanied them to the clinic for logistical support. During the intervention at the hospital, law enforcement interrupted the exploitation of a man and a woman who had been tricked into surrendering their kidneys before the surgeries took place. The two woman traffickers were arrested.

This was The Exodus Road’s first direct involvement in an organ trafficking case, and it happened because your support is allowing us to expand into bringing justice to this dark industry. Thank you!
