Mary Girlie Glen “Gigi” Tupas has been serving with International Justice Mission for 12 years. She collaborates, networks, and shares IJM’s mission of protecting people in poverty from violence with civil society, church, organisation, corporate, and community leaders, influencers, and movers to strengthen justice systems. She focuses on combatting online sexual exploitation of children (OSEC) and forced labour slavery (FLS). She engages stakeholders and coalitions in the Philippines, Asia Pacific and across the globe in creating supportive environments, collaborating with partners protecting children from OSEC, vulnerable adults from FLS, responding to the needs of survivors, and advocating for access to justice.

Guided by the motto, “Kay Kristo, Buong Buhay, Habambuhay” (“For Christ, Our Whole Lives for the Rest of Our Lives”) and John 10:10, “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly,” she strives to live out her Christian faith and mission in everything she does.
