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 tricked, trapped and trafficked into life-threatening work.

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

In many places the laws against slavery aren't enforced by the police and courts—so traffickers know they can exploit people living in poverty without any consequences.

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

Maarko was a seven-year-old boy sexually abused live over the internet—a crime called online sexual exploitation of children (OSEC).

He dreamed of being like Superman, but had no way out. Here the story of how Maarko found freedom.

Who are International Justice Mission?

International Justice Mission is a global organisation working to stop slavery and violence.

Together, with authorities, partners, lawyers, social workers, and you, the HG team, we're making justice unstoppable - and building safe futures that last.

This is our model to end slavery, trafficking and violence:

Bring People to Safety

We partner with local authorities to bring to safety individual victims of violence and provide trauma-informed support to survivors. Over 85,000 people have been brought to safety from slavery and violence so far. Read stories of hope here.

Strengthen Justice Systems

Slavery still exists because traffickers and abusers can freely exploit people living in poverty. This is possible when police, judges and other officials are not equipped to enforce the laws. We provide training, mentoring and support to local law enforcement and other community leaders to slow down and stop the cycle of 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, change-makers and survivors of violence to advocate for protection as an essential and tangible future for everyone.
