About IJM
International Justice Mission (IJM) is a global
organisation working to stop slavery and violence.
Right now, 50 million people are trapped in slavery. 1 in 4 is a child – that’s the equivalent of every child in England and Wales.
We believe every person deserves freedom and justice. Our team works with authorities and partners in 33 regions across 18 countries to combat slavery, trafficking, violence against women and children, and police abuse of power.
As one of the world's largest international anti-slavery organisations, our mission is to work with authorities and partners to make justice unstoppable.
Working side-by-side with local authorities, governments, and survivors, and partners, we:
The IJM Theory of Change
Bring people to safety from slavery and violence, and support survivors with trauma-informed care.
Bring criminals to justice, ensuring they cannot hurt others and creating a powerful deterrent to potential traffickers and abusers.
Strengthen justice systems by providing training, mentoring, and support to local police and authorities.
Enable long-term systemic change and build safe communities where people are protected from ever experiencing slavery and violence.
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 work in 18 countries around the world to protect people in poverty from other forms of violence and exploitation including violence against women and children, and online sexual exploitation of children and forced scamming.
