Grateful to @Peter_Wehner and @TheAtlantic for artfully weaving together my personal experience that sparked a question and eventually led to the creation of @IJM: “Who’s addressing the problem of violence among the poor?”
"International Justice Mission is the lengthened shadow of Gary Haugen," @Peter_Wehner writes. "It’s no surprise, then, that faith is an essential part of IJM’s work." on.theatln.tc/reEAicM

A very welcome development. I look forward to working with a federal Anti-Slavery Commissioner to help develop a more joined up response that delivers better outcomes for people, in NSW and beyond. – at Sydney, New South Wales
#BREAKING > Australia will get a Federal Anti-Slavery Commissioner, thanks to an $8 million allocation in last night's #Budget2023 to establish this office: ijm.org.au/news/media-releas…
#auspol #modernslavery
More good news in the Budget is significant funding for:
💲 @eSafetyOffice, with an extra $33.7M per year in addition to existing base funding of $11M
💲 Efforts to combat online scamming, including $58 million to establish a National Anti-Scamming Centre within the @acccgovau
IJM will continue to advocate for these funds to be used strategically and sustainably to combat #modernslavery (incl. in online #scamming, and online sexual exploitation of children #OSEC) at it source.
