About Us
International Justice Mission is a global organisation that protects people in poverty from slavery and violence.
As one of the world's largest international anti-slavery organisations, our mission is to work with authorities and partners to make justice unstoppable.
How does IJM work?
IJM partners with local authorities around the world to combat trafficking, slavery, violence against women and children, and police abuse of power. IJM works with police to bring victims of violence and abuse to safety, hold perpetrators accountable, and help local law enforcement build a safe future that lasts.
The IJM Theory of Change
Bring People to Safety
We partner with local authorities to bring children, women and men to safety from slavery and violence and support survivors to heal. Together, we've helped authorities bring more than 85,000 people to safety.
Bring Criminals to Justice
We work alongside justice system officials to ensure that traffickers and perpetrators of violence are held accountable, stopping the cycle of violence and deterring others from abusing vulnerable people.
Strengthen Justice Systems
We collaborate with justice systems and community leaders to respond effectively to violence. Together, we design improvements that serve survivors, deter criminals and dramatically decrease 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 19 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. We collaborate with local authorities to build communities where all people, and future generations, can expect to be safe and protected.
