Millions of people around the world are at risk of everyday violence – crimes like slavery, trafficking, violence against women and children and police abuse of power.
We are on a mission to partner with local communities to build a more just world where everyone can expect to be safe and protected.

IJM works with local authorities in 16 countries around the world to bring safety and freedom to those living in slavery and violence. We also have offices in a further 10 countries which focus primarily on advocacy and resource mobilisation.
Our proven Community Protection Model:
Strengthen justice systems
Slavery still exists because traffickers can freely exploit people. We provide training, mentoring and support to local law enforcement and community leaders to stop the cycle of violence and protect people from ever experiencing abuse.
We’ve seen slavery reduced by up to 86% in places we’ve worked.
