Climb for Freedom 2022 is raising funds for one vital reason: to help bring an end to modern slavery and violence around the world. Over 40 million children, women and men are held in slavery today more than any other time in history and the pandemic has only increased the vulnerability of people living in poverty to encountering violence and exploitation.

As the worlds largest anti-slavery organisation, IJM partners with local authorities in 24 programme offices in 14 countries to combat slavery, violence against women and children, and police abuse of power by: Bringing people to safety and supporting survivors with trauma-informed care Bringing criminals to justice Helping local law enforcement strengthen justice systems Scaling demand for protection Your support will help IJM continue this crucial work to stop slavery and violent oppression for good.
