At JHM Global, we are involved in the frontline war against DOMESTIC VIOLENCE & ABUSE as well as involved in advocacy against SEX SLAVERY kidnap for sex and the exploitation of women through prostitution.
We are passionate about seeing changes in the Law in various nations that will make domestic abuse & violence a crime. Women are killed weekly across the nations with little publicity or public outcry. Many women suffer in silence at home and in marriages without the courage or conviction to escape from violence or fight back.
Many women feel trapped, paralysed, living in fear and bondage. We are passionate to see changes in this area of women’s lives. If you are experiencing the following, you may be suffering from domestic abuse/violence and you need to get help:
