Advocacy
Your voice has power. Speak up for justice.
Use your voice to advocate for a safer future. For everyone.
Put Advocacy into Action
Right now, an estimated 50 million children, women and men live in modern slavery. Many more live within a justice gap with no protection from violence, abuse or exploitation. By speaking up, you can help close that gap and create safer communities where all people can expect to be protected.
Act now
There’s no need to wait. You can use your voice today to make an impact.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is advocacy at IJM? ¶
Everyone's voice deserves to be heard, and IJM invites advocates to use their voices to help bring about change through government and community action. This happens in several ways:
- Through petitions to Members of Parliament,
- Virtual and in-person meetings at Australian Parliament House,
- Working with other organisations and coalitions to amplify our asks.
What are the different kinds of legislation that IJM works on? ¶
IJM advocates work hard to help pass legislation that protects and defends vulnerable people around the world from slavery, trafficking and violence, like the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth) and Online Safety Act 2021 (Cth) .
How can my voice make a difference? ¶
The problems that IJM is seeking to solve impact millions and require intentional action by people in positions of power and influence. Your voice and actions can reach people who have the opportunity to make change happen, especially when you are joined with others. We have seen change happen when people in positions of power do listen to people like you.
We are committed to helping to create intentional opportunities for people like you to come together to take concrete steps to end modern slavery and violence.
