The Problem
In 2004 there are more slaves than were seized from Africa during four centuries of trans-Atlantic slave trade. (Kevin Bales, Disposable People).
Of the 600,000 - 800,000 people trafficked across international borders every year, 80 percent are female, and 70 percent of these women and girls are trafficked for sexual exploitation. (U.S. State Department)
According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, only 16.3 percent of reported rape cases result in the rapist's imprisonment (RAINN)

Raise their voices in prayer on behalf of victims of abuse and oppression;
Raise awareness on their campus and in the community about the reality of injustice in our world; and
Raise funds to help IJM be able to rescue more victims of injustice.
All of this is done so that as students become more engaged in the issue, God will work in their hearts to help them better understand His calling on their lives to seek justice for the oppressed. E-mail chapters@ijm.org for more info.
