Discover the work of International Justice Mission (IJM), helping free victims from people trafficking and prosecuting offenders.

Amber Hawkes opens our eyes to the painful and unjust oppression that is experienced by many women and children in India. God calls us to hear the cries of the oppressed and help those who are suffering. IJM engages lawyers and other professionals to train and mentor legal workers in India to free people from unjust forced labour contracts. Take some time to hear what the Bible says about suffering and some stories of IJM's work in freeing people from modern day slavery.
