Pray for our survivor services team in Ghana as they travel with two survivors of trafficking for a supervised visit with their families before reintegration. Supervised visits are conducted as part of the reunification process to give the children and their families time to get acquainted with each other and to address any concerns they might have before the children move in with these family members who have been assessed as able to provide a safe environment for the children.
Latin America
Praise God for the inauguration of police station offices adapted to receive children who have been victims of violence. We had the privilege of supporting the design of these offices for the Peruvian police. Now, the two stations have a place where children who have suffered physical or sexual violence can feel safe and be treated with dignity as they share their experience. Pray that these offices can serve as a model to be replicated nationwide.
South Asia
Please pray for strategic follow-up for a major conference IJM helped run in December. We had a fantastic opportunity to share about crimes against women and how justice systems can protect vulnerable people. Over the next few months, we’ll follow up with attendees from the government and other key agencies on how we can work together to take action. Pray for our team as they explore new openings for collaboration!
Asia Pacific
We praise God for the ways the story of Ruby* continues to be magnified to shine a light on slavery around the globe. Ruby, once trapped in the online sexual exploitation of children, is now using her voice as a survivor to bravely share about the crime and fight for freedom for those still living in slavery. This Christmas season, several individuals got together to record a song inspired by Ruby’s story called Until All Are Free. We hope and pray that it’s a blessing to you in this season!
