Hope for Justice, Inc.

Our mission is simply: To live in a world free of slavery.

We are committed to creating a collaborative community of abolitionists determined to end slavery in our lifetime.

Hope for Justice focuses on partnership working to deliver prevention sessions, best practice for restorative care and training for professionals. We are developing a model of investigation and rescue that complements the work of law enforcement and other agencies and supports the prosecution of perpetrators.

Our strategies fall into four distinct areas of activity.

Prevent: Our outreach teams, self-help groups and community education initiatives empower people to protect themselves and their families from predatory traffickers and their recruiters.

Rescue: Our specialist investigators work closely with law enforcement to identify victims of trafficking and modern
slavery, build bridges of trust with them and remove them from situations of exploitation.

Restore: We work with victims to overcome trauma and rebuild their lives. We offer tailored restorative care initiatives and help partners to develop accredited systems, and offer support to meet vital needs.

Reform: We train frontline professionals to spot the signs of modern slavery and act on it, and seek policy change by influencing governments and media. We work with companies to eliminate modern slavery from supply chains.

Hope for Justice is an international organization operating from twenty-three locations in eight countries. We have over 10 years of experience in front line investigation and recovery of victims of human trafficking.

Through years of experience, we have developed a working model that brings together multi-disciplinary teams to combat a complex crime which has a profound impact on our victims. Our teams typically are made up of investigators who are ex-law enforcement officers, most of them having held senior positions within their respective law enforcement agencies, they come with the training and disciplines necessary to handle the delicate and potentially dangerous situations victims of trafficking find themselves in.

Supporting our rescue teams, we employ qualified lawyers and social workers who take on an advocacy role on the victims' behalf.

In addition we run a number of programs which rescue children and young people from exploitation and trafficking in Asia with the goal of reintegrating them back to their families and communities.

Hope for Justice has an established investigative hub in Tennessee, which undertakes training and investigatory work.

We have established good working relationships with local law enforcement agencies and have worked on cases with them. Last year trained over 800 front line professionals in awareness of signs of human trafficking.
