We know where people are enslaved
and have a plan to rescue them.
Every day, countless people are sold into slavery, as slave owners make a profit from their misery.
International Justice Mission is a global organisation with a plan to eliminate slavery everywhere.
Set People Free
We’ve worked with police to rescue more than 49,000 people from slavery and other forms of oppression.
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.
Here’s a closer look at our proven plan.
And here’s a closer look at IJM.
Rescue is not only possible. It’s happening.

Slavery
How do you raise a child in slavery?
Enslaved on a dangerous farm, Damru and Hemanthi lived in fear of beatings and abuse—all while raising an infant son.You made their rescue possible.
Bonded Labour
Repeat Slave Owner Arrested as 31 are Freed from Horrible Conditions
A frantic phone call from one escaped labourer set off a critical rescue operation on Thursday—leading to freedom for 31 people who had been enslaved ...
We’re working all around the world to free people from slavery.
And we don’t stop there. Beyond slavery, we protect people in poverty from brutal violence:
Land Theft
For some families, a house and a small patch of land are often their only sources of shelter, food, and desperately needed income.
Sex Trafficking
The nightmare of sex trafficking thrives when law enforcement cannot protect vulnerable children and women.
Police Abuse of Power
In some of the poorest parts of the world, vulnerable people are abused by corrupt police who extort bribes and brutalise innocent citizens.
Citizenship Rights Abuse
Worldwide, an estimated 12 million people are stateless—people who hold no citizenship of any kind. No citizenship means no country claims you. No justice system protects you.
Sexual Violence Against Children
Sexual violence is a truly global epidemic that leaves millions around the world terrified in their homes, schools and neighbourhoods.
Forced Labour Slavery
Forced labour slavery uses deception, threats or violence to coerce someone to work for little to no pay.
Watch how the slave trade is being disrupted all over the world.
Join us in the fight.
