Send rescue and freedom in honor of your loved ones today!

What We Do

Slavery still exists all over the world.

Many people believe that slavery ended hundreds of years ago. Sadly, there are more slaves today than ever before in human history. Millions of children and adults are beaten, raped and starved as slaves in homes, brothels, boats and factories.

Slave owners value money over human life.

Slavery is a multibillion-dollar industry. Driven by greed and overlooked by their local legal system, slave owners traffic and steal human beings for profit. Too often the poorest children, women, and men are violently forced into slavery. No one is there to protect them.

Slaves need help to fight back.

When slaves fight for their freedom they are horrifically abused. Together, we can provide the strength and resources they need to be set free, and shut down the slave business—for good.

Who We Are

IJM is the largest anti-slavery organization in the world. We know where slaves are. Your help is needed to rescue them. This is our model:

Featured Story

Trafficked from Her Own Neighborhood

Help bring children out of cybersex trafficking. A young teenager with no real caretaker to provide for her needs, Marj* befriended some girls who lived nearby. As they grew closer, she was invited to their home. There were several girls her age living there, as well as a few adults.

She was 8. He was her father. The abuse lasted for many years.

IJM exists because of you. In the developing world, justice systems often fall short and children in poor communities live with less food, less education and less security. They are easy targets. And abusers show up.

She took her one shot at freedom.

Take your shot today to multiply freedom for others. Through December 15 ONLY, your gifts will be DOUBLED, up to $400,000!
