Abide Paper Company is proud to partner with International Justice Mission.
Our goal at Abide Paper Co. is to create products that bring people closer to Christ, while also working to protect people in poverty from violence.
Nearly half of Abide's profit each year goes to our partner organization, IJM, to support their work of combating human trafficking in Southeast Asia.
THE PROBLEM
- An estimated 50 million people are held in slavery today. (IJM)
- Human trafficking generates about $150 billion a year—with two-thirds coming from commercial sexual exploitation. (ILO)
- 1 in 4 victims of modern slavery is a child. (IOM)
- There are 4.2 million enslaved people in Southeast Asia. (IJM)
INTERNATIONAL JUSTICE MISSION
IJM is a global organization that protects people in poverty from violence.
Slavery is illegal almost everywhere. But millions of men, women and children are trapped in modern-day slavery around the world.
People living in poverty are uniquely vulnerable because local justice systems are not equipped to protect them. Every day, they are at risk of brutal violence like trafficking & slavery, violence against women & children, and police abuse of power.
IJM partners with local authorities in 29 program offices in 17 countries to combat trafficking and slavery, violence against women and children and police abuse of power.
IJM is uniquely positioned to partner directly with government, community and corporate stakeholders on how to sustainably enforce laws to protect those most vulnerable to violence in the post-COVID-19 world. Their ongoing work of providing direct services to survivors and strengthening justice, social service, and community-based systems positions them to effectively address post-pandemic vulnerabilities.
LEARN MORE ABOUT IJMIJM's Work in Southeast Asia
After more than a decade of successfully working alongside Cambodian authorities to combat child sex trafficking, IJM launched a new project in 2016 to combat forced labor slavery.
The team has supported cases involving victims trafficked to China as brides and factory workers, women trafficked to Malaysia as maids, and men trafficked to Thailand's fishing industry.
IJM rescues victims by partnering with authorities to identify and remove children or adults being exploited within Cambodia or trafficked across international borders.
IJM brings criminals to justice by pursuing cases against traffickers, slave holders and others recruiting, harboring or selling children, women and men into forced labour slavery.
IJM restores survivors by developing customized aftercare plans for clients and partner with organizations in Cambodia that provide trauma counseling, safe shelter and vocation training or education.
IJM strengthens justice systems by leading anti-trafficking workshops for government officials and civil society organizations in provinces spanning the country. They help develop nationwide police training curriculum so that all Cambodian law enforcement are equipped with the training and resources they need to combat labor trafficking.
