our
approach
We know that trafficking rarely occurs as a lone injustice.
It is an intersectional human rights issue preying on individuals with compounding vulnerabilities like race and gender.
ABOUT IJM
That’s why Dressember partners with International Justice
Mission (IJM) Australia to resource
programs that prioritise addressing human trafficking systemically.
With over 25 years of experience and global reach, IJM is an organisation that partners with local
governments, like-minded NGO’s, and corporations to combat human trafficking and violence against
women and children around the world.
IJM has a proven track record of significantly reducing rates of human trafficking in regions where
they have worked, and we rely on their deep expertise to identify and invest in the most effective
programs that will achieve measurable impact.

HOW OUR
COMMUNITY
MAKES AN
IMPACT.
We RELIEVE
The Dressember community funds urgent projects that help rescue child victims of violence from
immediate danger, while providing support and exit pathways for
trafficked adults.
Through IJM, the Dressember
campaign equips partner organisations that are locally
recognised, respected and trusted, ensuring projects and
initiatives are implemented in a culturally sensitive and
regionally contextualised way.
we restore
The Dressember community helps restore survivors through IJM programs that equip local partners to
provide what’s needed on the journey of healing.
When survivors have access to high quality holistic aftercare services like basic needs support,
therapy, legal assistance, education, employment pathways and more,
they are less likely to experience repeated cases of violence.
we prevent
The Dressember community helps address the root causes of violence that keep communities
vulnerable.
By funding programs through IJM that equip, strengthen and empower local authorities to enforce laws
and hold perpetrators accountable, communities become less vulnerable, and more people are prevented
from experiencing violence in the first place.
we amplify
The Dressember community centers the voices and experiences of trafficking survivors and empowers
them to become leaders in their communities.
By supporting survivor advocacy programs like the Global Survivor Network, we help amplify the
expertise, experience and leadership of survivors who are passionate about the pursuit of justice
and the future generations who will benefit from their strength.
