Our Impact
Walking alongside rescued survivors for a minimum of 24 months, JVI Justice Hubs provided legal aid and aftercare to over 6,800 survivors in 2025. This intentional and holistic approach has allowed JVI to consistently report that 85%-90% of survivors experience sustained freedom, with less than 10% recidivism rate for bonded labor survivors and 15% for sex trafficking survivors.
Collaborating with local organizations and global stakeholders, we facilitate community-led justice transformation, characterized by Freedom and Justice, Restoration, and Vibrant Partnerships.
A community experiences a justice system that is accessible, approachable, accountable, and effective in providing justice to victims and protection for the vulnerable.
Correcting the imbalance of influence and power enables the vulnerable and survivors to enjoy a more abundant and productive life, including contributing as leaders in their communities and society.
Impact networks of public sector, private sector and civil society partners are in place and demonstrate a commitment to enhancing and sustaining justice as the bedrock for communities to flourish.
