Nearly eight years after 5-year-old Jalia* was sexually assaulted by a substitute teacher, the court found her perpetrator guilty and sentenced him to life in prison.
With the support of IJM Kenya, little Vin* and his family overcame obstacles to persevere in their court battle and bravely testify against his perpetrator. Vin's abuser was sentenced to life in prison, with the judge saying the conviction "...should serve as a strong warning to anyone who preys on innocent children.”
Since opening in 2020, Ardent Coffee has donated almost $30,000 to IJM. With volunteer baristas and suggested prices, see how this team is making the fight against slavery part of the community’s daily morning ritual.
In a rare victory, a young woman who was trafficked to London for sexual exploitation was awarded monetary compensation. As a survivor of modern slavery in the UK, it was Antonia's* legal right to receive the reparation, yet IJM Romania has found that the reality for too many survivors is that they are often left empty handed.
