HG 100: A mission to fund 100 rescue operations

There are over 40 million people trapped in slavery today: that's over 200 times the population of Harrogate, Knaresborough and Ripon combined. We have a vision for HG to become an area that stands for freedom, so we're on a mission to send rescue to people trapped in slavery. Will you join us?

What is modern slavery?

Slavery is the use of lies or violence to force another person to work with little or no pay.

Children as young as four are being violently exploited as slaves.

Slavery is illegal almost everywhere. So why does it exist?

In many places the laws against slavery simply aren't enforced by the police and courts—so slave owners and traffickers know they can prey on people trapped in poverty without any consequences at all.

From fishing boats to brick kilns to brothels, slavery takes place all over.

Marko was a seven-year-old boy sexually abused on live internet video—a crime called cybersex trafficking.

He dreamed of being like Superman, but had no way out. Here is Marko's story of rescue.

Who is International Justice Mission?

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

This is our model to end slavery:

Rescue People from Slavery

We've partnered with police to rescue more than 49,000 people from slavery and other forms of violence. We walk with survivors in their journey to recovery.

Prosecute Slave Owners

We've helped local authorities arrest more than 3,500 suspected slave owners and other criminals.

Put the Slave Trade out of Business for Good

As laws are enforced the business model of slavery becomes unprofitable for slave owners.
