Give now to stop trafficking in Europe and beyond

Why support IJM’s Run Romania?

During Anti-Slavery Week 2024, a passionate group of supporters will be taking part in IJM’s Run Romania – running various distances in the Bucharest Marathon Festival to help stop trafficking in Europe and beyond.

Shockingly, over 50 million children, women and men are held in slavery today. And trafficking isn't just happening a long way away – it’s happening right here in the UK and across Europe.

Women like Samara* are being trafficked from Romania to the UK, sexually exploited and subjected to violence – and the war in Ukraine is putting even more women and children at risk of exploitation.

Samara was trafficked and exploited for five years, becoming pregnant as a result. But with IJM’s support and Samara’s powerful testimony, four traffickers were sentenced to five years in prison.

Thanks to the support of people like you, IJM has worked with police and partners to bring over 95,000 people to safety from slavery and violence, and seen slavery decrease by up to 86% in places where they’ve worked.

Donate now and help build a world free from trafficking and violence.
