In a small village outside of Phnom Pehn, little children as young as five years old were forced to live as sex slaves. Day after day their hope was slipping away. Tireless workers from International Justice Mission (IJM) infiltrated the ring of brothels and gathered evidence to free the children. Headed up by former war-crimes investigator Gary Haugen, IJM faced impossible odds-police corruption, death threats, and mission-thwarting tip-offs. But they used their expert legal finesse and high-tech investigative techniques to save the lives of 37 young girls and secured the arrest and conviction of several perpetrators. Terrify No More focuses on this dramatic rescue story, and uses flashbacks to tell those of many other victims who were given a second chance at life by this amazing organization.

GARY HAUGEN is the president and founder of International Justice Mission, a non-profit human rights organization that investigates and intervenes on behalf of victims of oppression. Haugen received his undergraduate degree from Harvard University, and his J.D. from the University of Chicago, cum laude, where he was the Ford Foundation Scholar in International Law. He is a former UN war-crimes investigator, and now lives with his wife, Jan, and their four children in the Washington D.C. area.

If you know of anyone that's interested, this orginazition is looking for a Vice President of Communications. International Justice Mission is a dynamic and highly professional organization that has experienced high-speed growth and an ever-increasing platform of work. Its focus mandates a law firm environment coupled with a global enterprise philosophy. Balancing these two structures, human rights advocacy necessitates substantial tools of organization, planning and management to ensure the most effective response to cases of abuse. IJM recognizes this fact and is therefore looking for candidates of excellence who are willing to devote their skills to serve those hurt by injustice.
