IJM works to combat sex trafficking, child sexual exploitation, cybersex trafficking,[5][6][7] forced labor slavery, property grabbing, and police abuse of power, and addresses citizenship rights of minorities. The bulk of IJM's work focuses on sex trafficking.[8] IJM's close coordination with third-world police agencies and the resulting arrests and deportations of sex workers have generated criticism from human rights and sex worker organizations over its mission and tactics.[9][10][11]
