International Justice Mission<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you are interested in helping victims of human trafficking and slavery around the world, not just here in the USA, I recently became aware of an organization you might like to help. Known as the International Justice Mission<\/a>, they have 21 offices in 13 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their mission is to combat slavery, violence against women and children, and police abuse of power against people who are poor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They attack the problems through a three-fold approach:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Rescue and restore victims<\/li>
  2. Bring criminals to justice<\/li>
  3. Strengthen justice systems<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    A little investigation on Charity Navigator seems to indicate they are doing a good job with donations, so you could contribute without worry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can learn more about their efforts at their website: https:\/\/www.ijm.org\/<\/a> . This might be just the place you were looking for for that end-of-year financial contribution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
