"And Justice For All"

In the current issue of leading international policy journal Foreign Affairs, IJM Founder and CEO Gary Haugen and U.S. Department of Justice Attorney Victor Boutros explore why violent oppression like slavery, sexual violence and police brutality is a daily reality for hundreds of millions of the global poor – despite the fact that these human rights abuses are nearly universally illegal.

Read the full article here and learn about the “big idea” behind IJM’s work. It’s the hopeful and real solution Haugen has advanced on the frontlines for more than a decade – building functioning public justice systems for the poor.

“Without functioning public justice systems to deliver the protections of the law to the poor, the legal reforms of the modern human rights movement rarely improve the lives of those who need them most.”
