Ride for Freedom
I dedicated my Asia adventure to the end slavery campaign.
I raised almost $4500 which is the cost of one rescue from sex trafficking. IJM is a charity which fights against slavery especially sex trafficking all over the world.
IMJ – International Justice Mission
International Justice Mission is a human rights agency that brings rescue to victims of slavery, sexual exploitation and other forms of violent oppression. IJM lawyers, investigators and aftercare professionals work with local officials to secure immediate victim rescue and aftercare, to prosecute perpetrators and to ensure that public justice systems – police, courts and laws – effectively protect the poor.
