Nonprofit Organization Management

IJM is the world's largest anti-slavery organisation: our global team of lawyers, social workers and investigators partner with governments and local authorities in 13 countries to help identify and rescue victims of violence and exploitation, and ensure they receive the support and assistance they require, whilst also working with law enforcement and prosecutors to tackle impunity by making sure laws are enforced. Our theory of change is based on the importance of the rule of law to protect those who are living in poverty and who are vulnerable to exploitation and abuse. Our team has spent more than 20 years on the front lines fighting some of the worst forms of violence: land theft, slavery, police abuse of power, and child sexual assault. To date we have supported local authorities to rescue nearly 50,000 people from slavery and oppression. In areas in which we have worked, we have seen that when local justice systems are properly equipped to proactively identify survivors and hold traffickers to account then the prevalence of slavery falls dramatically, in some cases by as much as 86%.
