IJMC's mission seeks to protect people in poverty from violence.

IJMC’s goal is to protect 6.5 million girls from commercial sex exploitation by 2031.

In F2026, IJM Canada spent $4.3m on its international work. The international projects IJMS cufns are designated by the global charity, IJM. In F2026 IJMC spending went to 18 countries, with 33% spent in India and the Philippines.

The global IJM charity worked in 33 communities across 21 countries. Donors should note that IJMC’s F2026 Impact Report reports the results of the total global work of IJM.

IJMC highlighted results across five program areas. It does not provide a breakdown of its spending by international programs.

Strengthening Justice Systems: IJM trains justice officials and law enforcement to prevent violence more effectively. In F2026, IJM helped train 44,870 local officials and community members, including trauma-informed training in Guatemala and survivor-led “Justice With Empathy” workshops in Bolivia.

Bringing Criminals to Justice: IJM works with police and lawyers to hold perpetrators accountable. In F2026, IJM helped restrain 5,154 suspected traffickers and abusers. Since 2021, its support has contributed to 15 convictions for forced scamming in Southeast Asia.

Rescuing and Restoring Victims: IJM rescues victims of violence and helps survivors reintegrate into society. In F2026, IJM's work helped free 9,055 children, women, and men from violence and restored 357 survivors, including 27 people freed from modern slavery/bonded labour on a South Asian sugarcane farm.

Scaling Demand for Protection: IJM equips locals to advocate for lasting protection. In Uganda, the survivor-led Speak! Campaign reached nearly 2,000 people, with over 1,100 committing to action. In the Philippines, Iligan City was removed from the top 50 OSEC hotspots list within two years.

Advocacy and Mobilization in Canada: In F2026, IJM Canada spent $819k on its Canadian programs, 16% of its total program spending. IJMC advocates for policy change domestically. In F2026, IJMC partnered with FINTRAC to address online sexual exploitation-related money laundering and served as a subject-matter expert at the Ontario Provincial Police's Internet Child Exploitation Conference.

IJMC spent $2.1m on fundraising costs, which is 24% of donations. It spent $1.2m on general and administrative costs, which is 13% of total revenue. IJMC has total overhead spending of 37%. For every dollar donated to IJMC, 63 cents are available to go to the cause. This is above Ci's reasonable range of 35%.

IJMC ended F2026 with $2.1m in reserve funds (cash), which covers its program spending for 0.4 years or five months. This shows a need for donations.
