Our voices have power. Speak up for justice.
We use our voice to advocate for a safer future for everyone.
Speaking truth to power
We build relationships with government, contributing our expertise to issues of modern slavery and especially cybersex trafficking. IJM Australia has made numerous submissions to Federal and State governments, and been invited to speak at hearings into the Modern Slavery Act.
Rallying Australians
We rally Australians in the fight to end slavery by creating advocacy campaigns and collaborating with other organisations:
– Thank You campaign
– #NotOnMyScreen
– Micah Australia
Empowering Justice Seekers and Advocates
We’re building a grassroots movement of ordinary Australians, who are equipped as leaders to mobilise their own communities.
Together, we’re building a global movement to end slavery.
