International Justice Mission Shows Up for the Vulnerable Around the World
IJM is a leading global anti-slavery organization working with local justice officials, community partners, authorities and advocates to show up for vulnerable people who urgently need their help. Their vision to rescue victims of slavery and violence, bring criminals to justice, restore survivors, and strengthen justice systems is a proven solution impacting the lives of countless people trafficked into slavery.
With an estimated 40+ million people in slavery globally, the importance of IJM’s work has compounded in the midst of a global pandemic. Recent operations had IJM alongside law enforcement in a town in southern India rescuing 360 people from bonded labour at a notoriously brutal brick kiln, which then led to the release of nearly 7,000 other nearby migrant workers who had been stranded during the COVID-19 lockdown.
