500 Miles for International Justice
Nathan Larkin is aiming to cycle 500 miles by Christmas, to raise money for International Justice Mission and their fight against modern day slavery.
Slavery and human trafficking still exist all over the world. Many people believe slavery ended long ago, but this couldn't be further from the truth. There are more people being enslaved and trafficked today than ever before.
International Justice Mission are the largest international anti-slavery organisation in the world. This includes undercover investigators, lawyers, social workers, advocates, and volunteers.
IJM's model to end slavery has three main parts:
- To rescue and restore victims, getting them out of the place where they’re in danger, and giving them the support and tools they need to heal and thrive.
- To bring criminals to justice, holding slave-owners, traffickers and rapists accountable in court.
- To strengthen justice systems, by providing training, mentoring and support to police, judges and other community leaders, to slow down and stop the cycle of violence. As laws are enforced the business of trafficking and slavery becomes unprofitable for slave owners.
