MISSION - WHAT WE DO

Hope for Justice is a charity working to bring an end to modern slavery and human trafficking and to protect the human rights of victims and survivors. Our multi-disciplinary model is based on four pillars: preventing exploitation; rescuing victims; restoring lives; and reforming society. Our global work, across four continents, is categorized as Prevent, Rescue, and Restore.

VISION - GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS

We aim to solve the global issue of Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery in its various forms especially labour exploitation, sexual exploitation and domestic servitude.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Investigative Center: Headquartered in Nashville, TN, we operate three Regional Investigative Centers across the U.S., established in 2016. The Center's vision is to live in a world free from slavery. One of the primary ways this is achieved is by rescuing and recovering as many victims as possible and enabling others to do so. Hope for Justice is the only not-for-profit organization in the U.S. equipped to investigate independently or with law enforcement to identify and rescue victims of human trafficking. Since its launch, over 700 cases have been referred to the Investigative Center, with over half of those developing into active investigations resulting in over 150 trafficking victims recovered. A majority of all cases had been accepted for federal prosecution. Since 2017 we have trained over 30,000 frontline professionals who are most likely to come into contact with victims of human trafficking, often without realizing it. In the past year, we have developed relationships with 50 law enforcement. Phnom Penh Lighthouse, Cambodia: Our Lighthouse is a transitional shelter for girls that have been sex trafficked. The shelter provides basic needs (safe shelter, food, clothes, etc.), medical and psychological services, and a range of other services according to need – e.g., legal support, catch-up educational classes, life skills, vocational training, etc. As soon as our team of experts considers a girl has stabilized her situation, we support her reintegration with her biological family or—if deemed in the child's best interests—help her towards independent living. Whatever their path, we follow up with the children for up to two years to ensure they are not re-trafficked. Regional Centers: Hope for Justice has three regional centers in the continental United States, in North Carolina, Tennessee, and Iowa. In North Carolina, the regional center has a Health and Human Services contract to provide community-based aftercare for survivors of trafficking. All three regional centers also carry out investigative work to identify victims of trafficking and to support them to leave exploitation, working closely with relevant law enforcement agencies. Our highly trained investigators gather the evidence needed for law enforcement to pursue the perpetrators of human trafficking. All the regional centers carry out outreach activities and tailored technical training for front-line agencies domestically and overseas. Training: Hope for Justice has a range of high-quality training packages tailored to different levels of complexity and specific audiences. These packages can be delivered through our Learning Academy, an online learning platform, or blended approaches with virtual or face-to-face sessions with subject-matter experts. We have worked with the US State Dept to make our training available to US government staff worldwide.
