Mission Statement:
Currently, there are a staggering 40 million people who are enslaved across the globe, and IJM, a Christian human rights organization seeks to put an end to slave trade everywhere with a mission to "rescue thousands, protect millions, and prove that justice for the poor is possible". This includes sex trafficking, land theft, police abuse of power, citizenship rights abuse, sexual violence against children and, forced labor slavery. With 17 field offices in a number of different countries, they work with local police to rescue those who are enslaved, partner with law enforcement to bring slave owners to justice, and also bring restoration to survivors of human slavery.
I am extremely excited to be interning with International Justice Mission where I will be serving in Cebu, Philippines at a field office for a year working in law enforcement development and investigations position. IJM began working in Cebu in 2006 and have made significant progress in stopping the exploitation of children in the commercial sex trade. The more recent focus has been cyber-investigations as traffickers have turned as a newer form of exploitation--live-stream ing of sexual abuse of children for people to view over the internet.
