About Us
International Justice Mission is a global organisation that protects people in poverty from violence.
As one of the world's largest international anti-slavery organisations, our mission is to work with authorities and partners to bring millions of people to safety, protect half a billion people, and make justice for people in poverty unstoppable.
How does IJM work?
IJM has 31 programme offices and nine advancement offices, and has a global office in Washington, DC. IJM partners with local authorities around the world to combat slavery, violence against women and children, and police abuse of power against people who are living in poverty. IJM works with police to bring victims of violence and abuse to safety and protection, hold perpetrators accountable, and help local law enforcement build a safe future that lasts.
The IJM Theory of Change
Strengthen Justice Systems
We collaborate with justice system and community leaders to respond effectively to violence. Together, we design improvements that serve survivors, deter criminals and dramatically decrease violence.
We Protect People from Violence
We partner with local authorities to bring individual victims of violence to freedom and help survivors heal to a place of safety and stability. Together, more than 85,000 people have been protected from slavery and violence.
Bring Criminals to Justice
We work alongside justice system officials to ensure that criminals are held accountable, stopping the cycle of violence and deterring others from abusing vulnerable people.
Scale Demand for Protection
We convene and equip champions to advocate for protection as an essential and tangible future for everyone.
We've seen slavery reduced by up to 86% in places where we've worked.
But we don’t stop there. Beyond slavery, IJM and our partners protect people in poverty from violence. We collaborate with local authorities to build communities where all people can expect to be safe and protected.
