JUSTICE

Awareness, Training & Action

YWAM Strategic Frontiers, Our VISION to fight Injustice:

We exist to mobilize and equip all generations to address issues of injustice both locally (in our neighborhoods and cities) and globally. Because of God's instrinsic value for every person, we work toward the restoration of every individual to relationship with Jesus Christ through His message of redemption and justice. We will accomplish this by gathering key community leaders to identify innovative solutions for rescuing those who are oppressed and unable to fight for themselves.

He has shown you, O man, what is good.  And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. -Micah 6:8


What is Human Trafficking?

The United Nations defines Trafficking in Persons as the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation. Exploitation shall include, at a minimum, the exploitation of the prostitution of others or other forms of sexual exploitation, forced labour or services, slavery or practices similar to slavery, servitude or the removal of organs.
