International Justice Mission is the largest anti-slavery organization in the world. We work every day to put the slave trade out of business for good.

IJM has a plan to pursue justice for all, and our model works.

First, we find children and adults who are victims of violence, forced labor or sex trafficking. Then, our team supports local police in their efforts to rescue them. Immediately after their rescue, we work with organizations on the ground to meet the urgent needs of victims, including safe housing, food, counseling and education.

Once survivors are safe and free, we partner with police to put slave owners in jail. Then we go after the root causes that allowed the slave trade to thrive in the first place. We make sure laws against slavery are enforced, ensuring it is legally and financially impossible for slave owners to stay in business.

To date, we've helped rescue more than 49,000 people from slavery and other forms of violence.

Maarko* is no longer being sexually abused in front of a webcam.

Foli* is no longer spending 19-hour days working on his uncle’s fishing boat.

Gowri is no longer working under a violent factory owner to pay off a manipulative loan that was always increasing. 

Maarko, Foli and Gowri wouldn’t be free without generous people like you. But we need your help to prevent other victims from suffering as they have.

Every slave is a person with a name, a story and a dream. Together, we can make their dreams of freedom a reality. With Planned Giving, your Legacy of Justice ensures we can continue working until all are free.
