International Justice Mission is a human rights agency that secures justice for victims of sexual explotation, slavery, illegal detention, police brutality and other forms of violent oppression. They focus on relief and aftercare for victims, accountability for oppressors, and advocating for change of structures to prevent future oppression.

In the tradition of abolitionist William Wilberforce and transformational leaders like Mother Theresa and Martin Luther King, Jr., IJM’s work is founded on the Christian call to justice articulated in the Bible (Isaiah 1:17): Seek justice, protect the oppressed, defend the orphan, plead for the widow.

International Justice Mission will be sending one of their fieldworkers to speak to Youth in Missions participants this summer.
