Protecting Women and Children from Violence
Land theft is a devastating form of violence that targets some of the most vulnerable women and children in the country.
Not only does land theft leave victims homeless, destitute and extremely vulnerable to other forms of abuse, it’s a violent crime. In an IJM study, nearly 1 out of 5 victims of land theft reported that the theft of their property involved a murder attempt on his or her life, and nearly 1 out of every 3 had threats of violence made against their children by perpetrators.
We are standing with widows and orphans in two of the areas hardest-hit by this crime.
We work with community leaders, police and the court system to restore widows and orphans to the homes that have been stolen from them.
We work with police and prosecutors to bring criminal cases against perpetrators—especially in cases of violence, intimidation or fraud.
We provide counselling, ensure that children can go to school, and partner with local aftercare providers to help women begin income-generating projects, so they can rebuild their lives from a place of strength.
Give a gift today and be a last minute responder for a child in need of rescue or a social worker holding the hands of a now-free mother.
Your generous monthly support of $31 or more will send rescue to vulnerable children and families at a moment’s notice, stand with them as they rebuild their lives in freedom and see their abusers in court – no matter how long justice takes.
