• We travel throughout Thailand’s remote northern hill tribe region to identify people who are legally entitled to Thai citizenship but do not have it – and, as a result, are left vulnerable to abuse and exploitation.

• IJM attorneys help these stateless hill tribe people officially file for citizenship, a complex bureaucratic process that can take many months.

• We relentlessly advocate on their behalf to move their cases through overburdened government offices that oversee the citizenship application process.

RESCUE VICTIMS

• We receive case referrals from partner organizations, churches and families, and work with local law enforcement to ensure that children who remain vulnerable to abuse are brought to safety.

BRING CRIMINALS TO JUSTICE

• We investigate cases, help the Royal Thai Police to arrest criminals and support prosecution of rapists and other child abusers.

RESTORE SURVIVORS

• We provide trauma therapy and support families so children can heal in a safe and stable environment, as well as help survivors prepare to share the truth in court.

STRENGTHEN JUSTICE SYSTEMS

• We provide training and hands-on mentoring to law enforcement, judges and other professionals. We advocate for reforms to the court process to protect children.
