Every day, innocent people are beaten, raped and abused as slaves.

With your help, we can rescue them and end slavery in our lifetime.

Slavery at a Glance

There are 50 million people in slavery globally.

That’s more than ever before in human history.

Slavery is a multibillion-dollar industry.

Human trafficking generates US$150 billion annually.

Slave owners prey on the poor and vulnerable.

1 in 4 victims of modern slavery is a child.

Every person enslaved has a name, a story and a dream. Together, we can send rescue and set them free.

Violence is a global problem. But we know the solution.

For over 25 years, IJM has partnered with local authorities all over the world to help remove children, women and men from situations of extreme violence. In that time, one thing has become clear: The problem of violence against vulnerable people can be solved in our lifetime. And we have the results to prove it.

IJM reduced slavery and violence by 50-85% in nine different jurisdictions around the world.

 


And we’re not done yet. We know the model works and is gaining momentum. Across the remaining 46 identified jurisdictions, drastic reductions in violence are possible, with the potential to protect 490 million more people from slavery and abuse.

IJM is a global anti-slavery organisation.

Join us in rescuing millions, protecting half a billion and making justice for the poor unstoppable.
