The Current

Earlier this month, the Government Relations team had the wonderful experience of traveling to Chennai, India, to work with the Government Relations team in our office there. It was an extraordinarily gratifying and wonderful experience for our whole team -- for most of the US-based team, this was their first opportunity to see IJM's work in the field directly! The Chennai team is doing some incredible work to help create structural transformation in the public justice system by working with local government leaders to address forced labor slavery.

I can speak for my whole team when I say that we had enormous kinship with our Chennai counterparts, who are doing similar work in India to the advocacy work we are doing here in the US. We hope you’ll enjoy these photos from our trip! One of our staff took a number of pictures during the trip, and we're excited to share some of those with you!
