Most of us fall into one of two categories:
the super-organised early bird with eight lists and all their presents under the tree on 1 December…
or the last-minute, slightly panicked “how late do the shops stay open?” type.
But what if there was a third kind of shopper?
A shopper who uses their gift to offer protection and help restore the joy of freedom to someone who has survived violence.
Good news: this Christmas, IJM’s Gifts of Freedom catalogue makes that possible.
If you’re reading this from somewhere in Australia, your Christmas might be filled with simple, familiar moments of freedom:
We’ll take time off work.
We'll spend our time and money on travel, parties and gifts; on celebrating with loved ones.
We’ll sleep safely in secure homes, knowing help would come if we needed it.
Because these freedoms feel ordinary, it’s easy to forget how precious they are.
They’ll have no freedom to choose how they spend their days, no chance to rest, to laugh with loved ones, or to save for food or travel.
Instead of safety, they’ll fall asleep in fear, trapped in cycles of abuse.
With your support, IJM is working to change that reality. All around the world.
Since 1997, IJM has helped bring more than 490,000 people to freedom from slavery and violence.
In the past year alone:
- 13,557 people were freed,
- 40,340 partners trained, and
- 1,430 criminals convicted.
In places where IJM has partnered long term, slavery and violence have been reduced by 50 to 85%.
Our Gifts of Freedom catalogue is a beautiful way for you to partner with IJM in bringing hope this Christmas.
Each gift represents a real need identified by IJM’s teams on the ground. From counselling for a survivor, to training for police, to legal support for a family seeking justice, or safe shelter for someone beginning again.
When you give a gift to a loved one through the catalogue, you’re actively helping to rebuild lives and to bring back those little moments of freedom.
It’s simple:
- Choose a gift that resonates with you.
- Select a beautifully designed card.
- Give the gift of freedom to someone you love.
Every card is tax-deductible, every gift meaningful, and every choice part of a global story of justice and hope. Inside, you’ll find a heartfelt description of the impact your gift will make (but not the dollar amount) making it a beautiful way to share hope with someone you love.
And as a bonus, you can choose either a physical or digital card, perfect for both the super-organised and the last-minute shoppers.
