Jeremy Norwood a professor at SAU learned about IJM when he was a student. He geared his education to help those who could not help themselves while he was in law school at Syracuse University. He later applied for an internship with IJM and was awarded an internship with the organization in Huanuco, Peru. He was there for thirteen weeks working on domestic violence and sexual abuse cases.
"I was extremely impressed with the Christian atmosphere at IJM - it encompasses all that they do," said Jeremy Norwood.
IJM has a four-fold purpose.
First, being victim relief--mitigating the victim of the abuse that is currently being committed.
Second, is victim aftercare--providing access to services that help victims' transition into their new lives and encourage long-term success.
Third, perpetrator accountability--brings accountability and just consequences under the law to the specific perpetrators of the abuse.
Last, Structural prevention--Prevent the abuse from being committed against others who are also at risk.
Now is the time to raise your voice. Become involved and seriously make a difference. IJM is making it possible for those who are ready to enact change. Jeremy Norwood and Anna Wilkinson are sponsoring the SAU chapter of the IJM, along with students Samantha Epp and Rebecca Kelch.
