OF THE YEAR...
Dear Friend, In the midst of this hard, strange year, I find myself reflecting on the hope of Christmas and thinking about some of the beacons of light we’ve witnessed together. We’ve seen front line and essential workers bravely staring down a pandemic. We’ve heard the calls of countless activists demanding justice for those who no longer have a voice. And at IJM, we’ve witnessed person after person walking out of slavery and into a life of freedom and hope. Freedom and hope—that you made possible. Your unwavering support has made 2020, with all of its unprecedented-ness, a year that will also be remembered by so many around the globe as the year they were finally, joyfully, free!
Everyone deserves to be safe and free. Because of friends like you, we will see slavery end in our lifetime. You’re bringing hope to people trapped in slavery around the world by:
Rescuing and Restoring Victims

In that spirit, it gives me great joy to share our 2020 holiday gift catalog with you. In this catalog you will learn about individuals who have not just overcome darkness but shattered it.

Free Families from Slavery Slavery is a present reality today for many people all over the world. Families are forced to work in brick kilns and factories, laboring in unforgiving heat up to 20 hours every day. They are beaten and abused at the slightest mistake and denied food, sleep and life-saving medical care.
Every morning for four painful years, Kalpanna woke up to live out the same exhausting day of cutting one ton of wood, over and over again. She was enslaved at a woodcutting facility—closely monitored with no hope of leaving. As each day passed, this young mother’s sole worry was for her two children working tirelessly beside her, hungry. Amid this darkness, Kalpanna experienced every mom’s worst nightmare: helplessly watching her older son pass away as medical care showed up too late. She feared her other son might suffer the same fate.
Today, Kalpanna and her family are back in their village. Kalpanna enrolled herself in a training class and now runs her own tailoring business with the sewing machine your support helps provide. She’s now able to give her son a bright future. And today, while he’s chasing his dreams at school, Kalpanna is chasing her dream of helping others just like her. Your gifts have a ripple effect, impacting individual lives and entire communities!
Thankfully, she and her family were rescued. Your gifts help fund entire rescue operations and enroll families in our aftercare programs. Because of supporters like you, this little family could start a whole new life in freedom.
Combat Slavery You can bring freedom to people still trapped in slavery. Help IJM and partners rescue them and put their slave owners behind bars. Provide access to aftercare to help them rebuild their lives and embrace their newfound freedom.

Protect Children from Sexual Violence Children are at risk of rape and sexual abuse in places you’d least expect. At home, school and in their communities, they’re vulnerable to predators who fear no punishment. With no money for a lawyer, therapy or medical care, children are often left traumatized and alone.
Belinda’s* biggest worry as a 10-year-old was her homework. One afternoon, as she waited outside her friend’s house in Guatemala City, this worry quickly faded as a man approached Belinda and assaulted her in broad daylight. “That day I hurt so much that I couldn’t sit or lie down,” Belinda recalls. In poverty, with little access to the justice system, Belinda and her family never expected to see justice. In fact, most victims of sexual assault in Guatemala don’t. But supporters like you helped make justice possible for her. Belinda received a top-notch lawyer free of charge to support her in court and the trauma-focused care she needed. In partnership with local law enforcement and government, this man received an unheard-of sentence in cases like Belinda’s—12 years in prison. Her case is a glimpse of hope in a broken justice system. You make this possible. Each gift you purchase—like the ones on this page—creates tangible change. “I felt good because at least he would be in a place where he couldn’t do anymore harm,” Belinda said. Today, Belinda is an advocate for children’s rights, sharing her story publicly so that children like her are protected from violence and free to live their lives in safety.

“ Make justice possible for so many children in Guatemala, especially the children living in
poverty who rely on the most basic legal services.” — PABLO VILLEDA Regional President, Latin America
Protect and Defend Children from Sexual Violence It’s hard to grapple with the fact that children experience horrific forms of sexual violence all over the world. You can help IJM equip our partners to find them and put the people who abuse them in jail as the first step in a long process. Restoration after such great violence is another. Help rescue children from abuse and give them the gift of freedom, joy and hope.

Defend Widows and Orphans Land means food and shelter for so many families. It’s also a coveted source of livelihood that often leads to violence. Widows are chased from their homes with machetes or threats of violence while greedy relatives prey on orphans in their time of need. When this lifeline is stolen, they are left homeless, hungry and desperate.
Defend Widows and Orphans You can bring peace to more women like Harriet, by defending vulnerable widows, sending critical aftercare, and ensuring a family’s livelihood.

Rescue Children from Cybersex Trafficking In the age of the Internet, a new form of slavery has emerged: cybersex trafficking. Today, predators sit in the comfort of their homes, logon to their computers and pay to watch young, defenseless children be sexually abused, broadcasted for the world to see.
Today, Rosie* lights up any room she enters. But before, she was trapped by a dark reality being exploited through a webcam in her own home. But you helped us find her. IJM partnered with local authorities to rescue Rosie. Her abuser was arrested and received a 37-year sentence. IJM and partners continued to walk alongside Rosie to help her heal from the trauma. Today, Rosie is safe and and protected from future abuse.
Her biggest focus is on finishing two grade levels in a year of homeschooling—and chasing her dream of going to college. By funding a cybersex trafficking investigation and comforting survivors like Rosie through therapy, you can help more children dream in freedom too.
Fight Cybersex Trafficking of Children Pedophiles and predators can sexually abuse boys and girls right from their computers. But you can help rescue these children and put their abusers behind bars. Help us work with local law enforcement to fight cybersex trafficking and arrest these predators, ensuring they can never abuse children again.

Send Rescue to Children on Lake Volta In Ghana, thousands of young children are losing their childhood to slavery on Lake Volta, fishing on the world’s largest man-made lake. They’re beaten, deprived of food and forced to dive into dangerous waters they may never resurface from. Rain or shine, they work endlessly waiting to be rescued.
You may have already met Godwin. At 17, he was trafficked to Lake Volta, a treacherous man-made lake where children are enslaved on fishing boats. But have you met Joshua*, our Director of Investigations and Law Enforcement Development in Ghana? He led the operation with local police to rescue Godwin, then worked with Godwin to go back and rescue more children enslaved on the lake. Joshua witnessed firsthand how your support brings freedom and how that freedom can empower children like Godwin. “Godwin is so bold, and he's a young man that has so much in front of him.... This moment doesn't define him for the rest of his life. There is hope for the future, not only for him but for the other people that are still out there,” Joshua said. "What I would tell anyone that is interested in supporting is change is happening.... The gift you send is being sent to the lake to rescue those kids. And when I see these kids rescued, I see every donor standing around us, because it’s not just us staff who send rescue, it’s everybody that’s standing behind.” By combatting this form of slavery in Ghana you can help rescue and empower more children like Godwin to pursue a bright future.

Rescue Children from Sex Trafficking Vulnerable children and women are trafficked for sex every year. Drawn in by pimps, cruel brothel owners or even family friends, and often with false promises of a good job, they are forced to sell their bodies over and over again. Hurting, alone and afraid, many trafficking victims lose hope of ever being rescued.
Nishta* wishes she never trusted the man who promised to find her a good job. Instead, he sold her to a red-light district brothel. For six months, she was sold daily. Your gifts ensured that we could find Nishta. Today, she is safe and thriving in freedom. Through aftercare programs, Nishta met counselors who helped her process her trauma and she completed tailoring, computer and nursing courses. Now she dreams of opening her own small business: a tailoring shop! You can help more children trapped in sex trafficking find their freedom from initial rescue all the way through long-term aftercare.
