International Justice Mission

Across Romania, the movement to end sex trafficking is growing. Last month, our team visited IJM Romania to gather stories of resilience in a city where exploitation persists. An estimated 2 million people are enslaved across Europe, and IJM's team in Romania is confronting this reality by studying the scope of trafficking, strengthening justice systems and partnering with governments to find traffickers and support survivors. They’re also equipping survivors to lead change and build safer communities across borders. We’re proud to stand with this bold, committed team and grateful for the global community that supports their work. 📸 Tap through to see a few highlights from an unforgettable trip in a beautiful country.

In this week's episode of the Practicing The Way's 'Rule of Life' podcast, IJM's Founder and CEO, Gary Haugen joins Tyler Statonto to talk about how compassion for the oppressed shaped his life’s work and how daily spiritual practices sustain the fight for justice. "The calling of service is also a steadfastness, a willingness to stay close to those who are in need and seeking to serve them." - Gary Haugen 🎧 Tune in wherever you get your podcasts or click here: https://ow.ly/sqY550X8VOV

Northstar 2025 was a blast! 40+ student leaders from campuses across the U.S. gathered in Washington D.C. for two powerful days of connection, prayer, and justice-driven inspiration. One student leader shared: "Northstar was a beautiful testament to the power of grounded, purposeful communities. I was deeply encouraged by the dozens of leaders from across the country who are doing justice on their campuses and being lights in the darkness. We brainstormed, prayed, and laughed together. I walked away reignited with passion for justice work, as well as lifelong friends in the fight!" 🌟 Want to be part of the IJM Student Movement?

In a new The Hill op-ed, IJM’s Nate King unpacks what Congress and the tech sector have done (or not done) to protect children from online sexual exploitation since tech CEOs appeared on Capitol Hill in January 2024. While some progress has been made, children remain deeply vulnerable. Congress now has the chance to pass the STOP CSAM Act, a comprehensive bill that would require transparency from tech companies, strengthen protections for survivors, and hold platforms accountable. 🔗 Read the full piece here: https://lnkd.in/gtnWpRaJ
