This past weekend was one celebrating freedom. Freedom that so many of us have and don't fully realize. I'm no exception to that statement. Amidst all the celebrations, I couldn't help but remember those who aren't as fortunate. So many people live in oppressive, toxic and downright horrible environments. Most of us don't even realize the extent of the oppression that so many live in. However, there is one group that fights against that. They fight for those that can't fight for themselves. They are the International Justice Mission. This is their statement:
International Justice Mission is a human rights agency that secures justice for victims of slavery, sexual exploitation and other forms of violent oppression. IJM lawyers, investigators and aftercare professionals work with local governments to ensure victim rescue, to prosecute perpetrators and to strengthen the community and civic factors that promote functioning public justice systems.
IJM's justice professionals work in their communities in 12 countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America to secure tangible and sustainable protection of national laws through local court systems.
I am so glad and thankful that these people are working towards a mission of justice for all in ways that I can not. To view more about this organization, follow this link: http://www.ijm.org/
