    Situation

    Slavery still exists. More people are in slavery today than ever before. In Ghana, children as young as four are sold to work in the fishing industry on Lake Volta. They are separated from their families, violently beaten, malnourished and prevented from going to school. Foli, 12, explains that many do not know how to swim and drowning is common. He said: “You have to hold your breath. You get tired. If you’re not careful … you die.”

    Solution

    IJM partners with local police and authorities to find and rescue people in slavery, help survivors to heal from their trauma and ensure slave owners are arrested and convicted for their crimes. We train law enforcement in how to conduct anti-trafficking investigations and pursue criminal cases, to sustainably tackle slavery long-term. IJM has helped rescue over 50,000 people from slavery and oppression globally and we have seen reductions in slavery of up to 86% in places where we have worked.
