End Slavery in Our Lifetime | International Justice Mission

One young girl.
Years of abuse.

Joy was trapped in the nightmare of cybersex trafficking. Your support changes the story.

Slavery still exists all over the world.

Many people believe slavery ended long ago. This couldn’t be further from the truth. There are more people trapped in slavery today than ever before. Together we can set people free one by one.

Slave owners value money over human life.

The chains of modern slavery are violence, deception and fear. Oppressors steal 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. Today, you can send rescue.

Cybersex Trafficking

“We were left with no choice but to follow her instructions.”

As Joy recalls her early years passed from home to home, she says she felt “like a dog… I lived wherever I can possibly stay.” When she was just ten years old, a woman she trusted invited Joy and her friends into her home. But something felt wrong.

Joy* became a victim of cybersex trafficking – the live sexual abuse of children streamed over the internet for predators and paedophiles around the world.

You matter. Your support makes a difference. Protect children and families in desperate need today.
