He speaks for those who have no voice. He speaks from years of experience and with the passion of one who has witnessed injustice firsthand. He is Gary Haugen, and he is coming to speak at Northview’s Weekend Services November 11/12.

Prior to founding International Justice Mission (IJM) in 1997, Haugen was working as a human rights attorney for the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. In 1994, he served as the Director of the United Nations investigation of the Rwandan genocide aftermath. The genocide perpetrators were brought to justice by his team.

Haugen currently serves as CEO of IJM. IJM fights for human rights worldwide. They tackle issues such as: human trafficking, slavery, police brutality, corruption and illegal detention.

Northview partners with IJM to help free young boys caught as slaves in the fishing industry in Ghana.

Since Northview began this partnership, enslaved boys have been rescued and slave masters have been arrested.

Haugen’s work has received recognition in publications such as: “The New York Times,” “Forbes” and “U.S. News and World Report.” His most recent book is, “The Locust Effect: Why the End of Poverty Requires the End of Violence.” Haugen was recognized by the U.S. State Department as a Trafficking in Persons “Hero,” for his anti-slavery leadership.

Come and be challenged with Haugen’s firsthand account of the injustice IJM battles around the globe.
