We know how to protect people in poverty from violence. But we need your help.
Every day, countless people are at risk of criminal violence that is already against the law—crimes like slavery, violence against women and children and police abuse of power.
International Justice Mission is a global organisation with a model to protect people in poverty from violence and exploitation.
Rescue and Restore Victims
We partner with local authorities to rescue individual victims of violence and restore survivors to safety and stability. Over 57,000 people have been brought to safety from slavery and violence. Read stories of rescue here.
Strengthen Justice Systems
Slavery still exists because traffickers and abusers can freely exploit people living in poverty. This is possible because 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 to advocate for protection as an essential and tangible future for everyone.
Here’s a closer look at our proven plan.
Rescue is not only possible. It’s happening.

We’re working all around the world to protect people from slavery and violence.
And we don’t stop there. Beyond slavery, we protect people in poverty from brutal violence:
Online Sexual Exploitation of Children
Online Sexual Exploitation of Children, (also cybersex trafficking) is on the rise as internet access increases everywhere. Now, paedophiles anywhere in the world can direct live sexual abuse of children hidden in private homes or internet cafes.
Forced Labour Slavery
Forced labour slavery uses deception, threats or violence to coerce someone to work for little to no pay.
Violence Against Women and Children
Because women and children around the world often are not effectively protected by the law, they are particularly vulnerable to violent abuse.
Sex Trafficking
The nightmare of sex trafficking thrives when law enforcement cannot protect vulnerable children and women.
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.
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.


Together, we're ending slavery and violence in our lifetime.
