Lawyers walking

Justice Ventures International (JVI) is a team of lawyers, doctors, social workers, educators and community leaders.

JVI works on the front lines in poor and oppressed communities where the battle for justice rages daily. Freeing the enslaved. Pursing justice. Restoring lives. Since 2007, JVI has been partnering with international organizations, government agencies, and a wide range of local NGOs in South Asia to uproot systems of bonded labor, sex trafficking, forced marriage, domestic servitude, and other forms of human trafficking through the strengthening of the justice system and building collaboration between government and civil society. Since 2012, JVI has been able to directly impact 181,456 lives while strengthening the capacity of over 250 local justice organizations and bringing about vital improvement to the performance of justice systems.

VISION

To see unjust communities transformed into communities reflecting God’s love, where human rights and dignity of the vulnerable are respected by all.

MISSION

To bring freedom, justice, and restoration to men, women, and children suffering from human trafficking and other extreme injustice by partnering with local organizations and global stakeholders.

Values

Christian Faith: We believe that Jesus Christ is the perfect expression of God’s love for all humanity. We maintain our Christian identity while respecting the rights of others to hold different beliefs. We seek to partner with both Christians and non-Christians in the common cause of justice.

Commitment to the Poor and Oppressed: We are called to serve the poor and oppressed, believing in the uniqueness, dignity and intrinsic worth of every person.

Respect for Cultural Diversity: We celebrate diversity in our relationships and the rich contributions of different cultures in society. We pursue justice for all individuals, regardless of religious belief, race, ethnicity or gender.

Local Leadership: We believe that the work of justice is sustainable only if embraced and led by individuals in local communities where injustice occurs. We are committed to fostering justice solutions in partnership with local leaders, volunteers and other community members and organizations who are an integral part of these communities.

Global Engagement: We believe that the pursuit of justice is the shared responsibility of all those with the ability to help. We collaborate with justice ventures, volunteers, donors, investors and like-minded organizations through shared networks enabled by an increasingly interconnected world.
