Students who want to get involved in beating injustices in this world, seek out the International Justice Mission. This group is a professional group dedicated to "rescue victims of violence, sexual exploitation, slavery, and oppression." They have specifically laid out their vision in a four-fold purpose:
Four-Fold Purpose
Victim Relief - Relieve the victim of the abuse currently being committed.
Victim Relief - Relieve the victim of the abuse currently being committed.
Perpetrator Accountability - Bring accountability and just consequences under the law to the specific perpetrator(s) of abuse.
Structural Prevention - Prevent the abuse from being committed against others who are also at risk by strengthening community factors that are likely to deter potential oppressors, reduce the vulnerability of at-risk populations and empower local authorities to stop such abuses.
Victim Aftercare - Provide access to services to help victims transition to their new lives and to encourage long-term success.
The IJM project desires to include students into their vision because they believe in their effectiveness in combating injustice. There are different ways to be involved whether it be internships, donations, careers or just simply the prayer support that is needed.
