International Justice Mission Australia

International Justice Mission (IJM) is a global organisation that protects people in poverty from violence. IJM partners with local authorities in 33 program offices in 19 countries to combat slavery, violence against women and children, and police abuse of power against people living in poverty. IJM works to rescue and restore victims, hold perpetrators accountable and help strengthen public justice systems.

In the face of abuse, IJM and our partners collaborate with local authorities across Asia Pacific, Africa, Europe and Latin America to build communities where all people can expect to be safe and protected.

There are an estimated 50 million people held in slavery today. An estimated 90% of labour trafficking takes place in the private economy—homes, businesses and supply chains. Human trafficking generates about $150 billion a year, with two-thirds coming from commercial sexual exploitation.

IJM’s core focus is to:

• Strengthen Justice Systems
We collaborate with the justice system and community leaders to respond effectively to violence. Together, we design improvements that serve survivors, deter criminals and dramatically decrease violence.

• Rescue and Restore Victims
We partner with local authorities to rescue individual victims of violence and restore survivors to safety and stability.

• Bring Criminals to Justice
IJM works alongside justice system officials to ensure that criminals are held accountable, stopping the cycle of violence and deterring others from abusing vulnerable people.

• Scale Demand for Protection
IJM convenes and equips champions to advocate for protection as an essential and tangible future for everyone.
