International Justice Mission (IJM)

International Justice Mission is a human rights agency that secures justice for victims of slavery, sexual exploitation and other forms of violent oppression. IJM lawyers, investigators and aftercare professionals work with local governments to ensure victim rescue, to prosecute perpetrators and to strengthen the community and civic factors that promote functioning public justice systems.

IJM's justice professionals work in their communities in 12 countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America to secure tangible and sustainable protection of national laws through local court systems.

Jan 2009 article on IJM in New Yorker Magazine

Psalm 72 says of our King Jesus
May He defend the cause of the poor of the people,
give deliverance to the children of the needy;
and crush the oppressor!

and
He delivers the needy when he calls,
the poor and him who has no helper.
