International Justice Mission

International Justice Mission is a human rights organization that rescues victims of violence, sexual exploitation, slavery and oppression. A multi-national team of law enforcement professionals and a highly qualified legal staff conduct criminal investigations and collect evidence to rescue victims and bring perpetrators to justice. The work of IJM has been featured on Dateline NBC, in Forbes, New York Times Magazine, Wall Street Journal and other media outlets.  IJM was founded by Gary Haugen who served as the Officer in Charge of the U.N. investigation into the Rwandan genocide.

In 2002, International Justice Mission Canada was established to educate, empower and engage Canadians in the pursuit of justice for the oppressed. Jamie McIntosh  serves as IJM Canada's Executive Director.

IJM Canada is registered with Canada Revenue Agency as a federally recognized charitable organization (registration number: 86388 9283 RR0001).

BCLocalNews.com – 17-year-old celebrates birthday by emphasizing justice: http://www.bclocalnews.com/lifestyles/78257342.html

“‘I decided to take my 17th birthday as an opportunity to bless others — as an occasion to give instead of to receive,’ said Michelle, a Grade 12 Mountain Secondary student. Contrary to a typical teen’s summer vacation full of lounging around, suntanning and shopping, Michelle spent her time planning, organizing her party, to which she asked guests to bring a donation towards International Justice Mission Canada (IJM) instead of a birthday present for her. But this wasn’t going to be any old party, this was going to get the whole community involved. Soon, Michelle was knocking on the doors of every business in Langley, sharing her passion for IJM’s work and asking for donations for her birthday party. In total, $3,515.82 was raised for IJM.”
