Thanks to you, IJM is able to partner with police to find and free people trapped in slavery or violent abuse. Pachaiyammal was trapped in forced labour slavery with her husband Arul. They worked long hours crushing rocks in a dangerous quarry, until IJM and police brought them both to safety. Now Pachaiyammal is a community leader and has personally helped police to free over 100 people.

Too often, traffickers and abusers act with no risk of being caught. But when we support justice systems and police to find victims, arrest abusers and hold perpetrators to account, the crime can dry up quickly. To support the work of justice, churches in Ghana are courageously preaching about stopping child slavery – and the fact that trafficking is illegal - knowing they may have child traffickers in their congregation.

IJM social workers support survivors with high quality, trauma informed aftercare, which is vital in helping to overcome abuse and build strong futures - we've seen survivors take a powerful, leading role in the fight to end slavery. In the Philippines, the church plays a crucial role in helping provide trauma-informed aftercare to survivors of child trafficking. What role will you play?
