Hope for Justice is a global non-profit organisation which aims to end human trafficking and modern slavery. It is active in the United Kingdom, United States, Cambodia, Norway, Australia, Ethiopia and Uganda and has its headquarters in Manchester, England. Hope for Justice seeks to investigate and rescue trafficking victims, assist in aftercare, hold traffickers accountable, and campaign on a wider level to improve awareness and legislation. In the financial year 2021-22, Hope for Justice says it reached 199,894 people over 12 months through its outreach, prevention and aftercare projects. Hope for Justice is described as a "major anti-trafficking organization" by Chris Smith (R, Hamilton Township), who represents New Jersey's 4th congressional district for the 117th United States Congress and who authored the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000 and several follow-on laws. Hope for Justice contributed to and endorsed H.R.6552, or the Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act of 2022, introduced to Congress by Smith. In 2020, Hope for Justice contributed to a multinational police operation co-ordinated by Eurojust, an agency of the European Union, in which 10 human trafficking suspects were arrested and female victims of sex trafficking were safeguarded in multiple countries. After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Hope for Justice published a rapid assessment report covering the risks of modern slavery for those displaced by the conflict. The charity also produced informational resources for Ukrainian refugees arriving in the UK and collaborated with other charities to launch a website called UkrainiansWelcome.org for those arriving in the UK from Ukraine to warn of the risks of trafficking. It led a coalition of more than 50 human rights and anti-trafficking charities globally to sign an open letter condemning the invasion and its impact on human trafficking risks for the most vulnerable and contributed to an evidence-gathering project led by the UK's Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner on the same subject. History Hope for Justice was co-founded in 2008 by Rob and Marion White, Ben and Debbie Cooley, Tony and Viv Jackson, Rob Allen, Chris Dacre, Martin Warner and Tim Nelson at an event called "The Stand" at the National Exhibition Centre near Birmingham. In 2014, it merged with Abolition International and Transitions Global to become a worldwide organization to fight human trafficking. In 2018, the street children charity Retrak, active primarily in African countries, became part of Hope for Justice. Four other organizations
