"He humbles those who dwell on high, he lays the lofty city low; he levels it to the ground and casts it down to the dust. Feet trample it down – the feet of the oppressed, the footsteps of the poor."
- Isaiah 26:5-6

Pray that parents in Uganda who abuse their children will stop and repent of their behavior, and for a change of heart for parents who choose to settle sexual violence cases out of court in exchange for economic gifts or bribes. Pray that communities would grow in their trust of the formal justice system so that more cases are reported, perpetrators face accountability and children are brought to safety from violence.

Please pray for IJM’s training sessions for government officials, social services and partner NGOs in the next few months.
As part of our Justice System Strengthening programs, we provide specialized trainings with police, prosecutors, judges and local authorities on how to enforce the law against human trafficking and bonded labor. We also train aftercare partners and grassroots NGOs on how to support survivors after they are rescued. All of this will help us foster a safe and sustainable network of care to protect children, women and men from ongoing abuse. Pray for our team as they lead an increasing number of these trainings in the next few months.
