Slavery still exists.
We work with local justice officials, community partners, advocates and people like you to end it for good.
Every day, countless people are trafficked into slavery, as slave owners make a profit off their vulnerability.
International Justice Mission is a global organization with a solution to end it.
Here’s a closer look at our proven solution.
Rescue and restore victims
We find the children and families who are victims of violence, forced labor, or sex trafficking. We then support local police in rescue operations and help meet the victims’ urgent needs, like safe housing, food, medical care, counseling, and education. We walk alongside survivors until they are fully restored.
Bring criminals to justice
We make sure criminals cannot continue to harm vulnerable children, women and men. We do this by working with local law enforcement in investigating, arresting and charging slave owners with crimes. Then our lawyers and partners continue to fight in courtrooms until those slave owners are put behind bars.
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.
Rescue is not only possible. It's happening.

We’re working all around the world to free people trapped in slavery.
We don’t stop there. We protect vulnerable people from brutal violence throughout the world:
Land Theft
Widows and orphans are left vulnerable to violence when criminals come to take their only course of livelihood: their land.
Sex Trafficking
The nightmare of sex trafficking thrives when law enforcement cannot protect vulnerable children and women.
Police Abuse of Power
When police are free to misuse their power, vulnerable people are most at risk to be victims of their violent actions and false accusations.
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 solution to free children and families. All we need is you.
