About International Justice Mission

International Justice Mission (IJM) is a global humanitarian organisation working to protect people living in poverty from violence, exploitation, slavery, and abuse. Partnering with local authorities, justice systems, and communities, IJM works to rescue victims, restore survivors, hold perpetrators accountable, and strengthen justice systems so communities can live in safety and freedom.  

Operating in many countries around the world, IJM combines practical action with a deep commitment to justice, compassion, and human dignity. Their work brings hope to some of the world's most vulnerable people while helping create lasting change for future generations. 

Women Leaders Alliance is proud to partner with International Justice Mission as they empower women to lead through their Survivor Leader Network.
