Rescue Girls from Sexual Slavery         India & Southeast Asia

More than 2.3 million girls and women in India are believed to be working in the sex industry against their wills. In Cambodia alone, as many as one-third of an estimated 50,000 sex workers are children under age 18. Sex traffickers kidnap, coerce, or promise well-paying jobs to deceive girls, then force them into brothels. 

The INTERNATIONAL JUSTICE MISSION (IJM) works undercover to rescue victims of forced prostitution in India and Southeast Asia by gathering evidence of trafficking and sexual exploitation and collaborating with local authorities to bring perpetrators to justice. Social workers then place victims in aftercare homes where they receive rehabilitation services and begin to restore their lives. IJM investigations have resulted in convictions for traffickers and freedom for hundreds of girls and women.
