At IJM, our work towards ending human trafficking and violence against people in poverty means that we can witness seemingly insurmountable darkness. But it also means that we see incredible transformation every day. To know stories of survivors like Ruby* is to know that anything is possible.
Christmas is a celebration of when light pierces through the darkness and hope arrives. So we send this message to anyone who is in their lowest moment what we know to be true: there is hope.
When Ruby* was just 14, her parents died, leaving her grieving and alone. When a friendly recruiter from the nearby city offered her a job, she saw it as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to turn things around. It was a trick.
Instead of working her dream job, Ruby was trapped to be sexually abused in front of viewers online.
This holiday season you can send rescue and hope to a child in need.
