IJM Australia is now part of a global team of nearly 750 lawyers, social workers, investigators, community activists and other professionals. IJM field offices protect the poor from violence in 17 communities throughout the developing world. IJM Australia was launched in 2014. IJM Australia is one of five partner offices in Canada, Germany, the Netherlands and the UK sharing in the global mission. IJM Australia partners with IJM globally to deliver justice programs overseas and works locally to grow the movement of Australians seeking justice for the oppressed. Through the support of a global movement of friends and partners, we have collaborated with local authorities to rescue thousands of victims of everyday violence and put hundreds of violent criminals behind bars. And, each day, we see powerful proof that justice for the poor is possible.
