We know where people are enslaved
and we have a plan to rescue them.
Every day, countless people are sold into slavery, as slave owners make a profit off their misery.
International Justice Mission is a global organization with a plan to eliminate the slave trade everywhere.
We Rescue Slaves
We've rescued more than 45,000 people from slavery and other forms of violence.
We Work with Police to Throw Slave Owners in Jail
We've helped local authorities arrest more than 3,500 suspected slave owners and other criminals.
We're Putting the Slave Trade out of Business
As laws are enforced, the business model of slavery becomes unprofitable for slave owners.
Here’s a closer look at our proven plan.
Rescue is not only possible. It's happening.

Four days. Three operations. Sixteen Children Now Safe.
Wave of Rulings Ushers in Justice for Vulnerable Children
We’re working all around the world to free people trapped in slavery.
We don’t stop there. We protect the poor against brutal violence in the developing world:
Land Theft
For poor families, a house and a small patch of land are often their only source 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
Poor people in the developing world are abused by corrupt police who extort bribes and brutalize 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 neighborhoods.
Forced Labor Slavery
Forced labor 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.
We have a proven plan to free slaves. All we need is you.
