Freetown, Sierra Leone, Apr 17, 2018, In Sierra Leone, Salesian missionaries are working to rescue girls who work as prostitutes. They provide them shelter and assistance to meet their family members again or to stay in adoptive homes. In 2016, Salesian missionaries working in Freetown realized that there was a large number of girls selling their bodies to get food. The youngest was 9 years old, and the oldest 17. Then the idea of creating a shelter came up as an alternative environment to help them to get out of prostitution.
The director of Don Bosco Fambul Center for the Protection of Minors, who is a Salesian priest, has recently visited several European cities to present “Love”, a short documentary in Spanish which shows the suffering of girls forced to prostitute themselves and who are rescued from the streets.
