Pray for the remodeling of a police station in Guatemala that will create a safe and private space for women and children to file complaints. Previously, victims had to give their testimonies in a public, open area where anyone entering the office could hear the details, often deterring women from reporting violence to the Public Justice System. Pray for the successful completion of the remodeling, and that the new space will encourage more victims to come forward. We praise God for the progress made so far! |

Pray for recruitment in Uganda. We have many roles to fill on our teams in Uganda who are working to protect women and children from sexual violence and domestic violence. Pray that the right people with great passion and skill would see our job advertisements and feel called to do this work with us. Specifically, pray for recruitment for our advocacy, community engagement, measurement and casework teams. Pray for us to connect with passionate and highly qualified mature Christians who will be a valuable addition to the team and mission of the protection of women and children in Uganda. |

Please pray for great fruits from a major conference we co-sponsored this week in South Asia. Our team worked with police and several government agencies to assemble 200+ experts for some critical dialogues on human trafficking trends, emerging technology, child protection, and improving our collaboration. We also invited key journalists to help shape the way trafficking is presented publicly. Pray that all of these leaders go home equipped and excited to implement changes, and pray for rest for our staff after busy months of planning. |

Join us in praying for our work involving cross-border forced labor and justice system effectiveness in Cambodia and Thailand. In partnership with the Walmart Foundation, IJM recently released studies analyzing the issue and how these countries are working to solve it. The studies confirm the presence of significant forced labor slavery rates and gaps in the justice system responses. The studies also include actionable recommendations for key stakeholders to protect vulnerable people from labor trafficking. We pray for all those working to combat this horrific crime. |
