Choose Freedom.

Together, we can make freedom the new normal. Will you take urgent action with survivors and IJM staff to stop slavery and violence increasing?

Choose Freedom

Slavery and human trafficking still exist all over the world.

Many people believe slavery ended long ago. This couldn’t be further from the truth. There are more people being enslaved and trafficked today than ever before. Together we can send rescue and set people free one by one.

Slave owners value money over human life.

The chains of modern slavery are violence, deception and fear. Oppressors traffic human beings and abuse them for their gain. Corrupt or broken law enforcement means that many traffickers have no fear of being caught. Together we will disrupt their business model forever.

People in slavery have no choice—but we do.

Imagine having your freedom stolen. Being forced to work back-breaking hours for no pay. Everyone has goals, dreams and talents. But not everyone is free. Slavery and trafficking do not have to be a reality. Today, you can send rescue.

Who We Are

We are the largest international anti-slavery organisation in the world. We’re a team of undercover investigators, lawyers, social workers, advocates—and you.

Our Model to End Slavery

Rescue and Restore

We find enslaved or trafficked people, bring them to safety and walk alongside them until they are restored. We’ve partnered with police to rescue over 50,000 people from slavery and other forms of violence.

Bring Criminals to Justice

We relentlessly pursue justice in court. We ensure that traffickers, rapists and other criminals go to jail so they cannot abuse, exploit, or enslave others. We’ve helped local authorities arrest more than 3,500 suspected slave owners and other criminals.

Strengthen Justice Systems

We provide training, mentoring and support to police, judges and other community leaders to slow down and stop the cycle of violence. As laws are enforced the business model of slavery and trafficking becomes unprofitable for slave owners.
