IJM's primary strategy was to support and build the capacity of public justice system actors to enforce anti-human trafficking laws and provide quality aftercare to child sex trafficking victims through the government and other relevant stakeholders. In the three project areas, IJM's Program to Combat Sex Trafficking of Children focused on three common outcomes: -Increased capacity, will and mandate of regional and national Philippine law enforcement to investigate and intervene in suspected sex trafficking cases; -Increased quantity and quality of child sex trafficking prosecutions in the Philippines, resulting in an increase in the number of convictions; -Increased capacity of Philippine government and private social service providers to process sex-trafficking survivors immediately post-rescue, provide trauma-informed care and reintegrate sex trafficking survivors into local communities. IJM's Program was premised on a Theory of Change (ToC) that evolved over time. In essence, the ToC was that improving enforcement of anti-human trafficking laws would increase the prosecution and conviction of traffickers, leading to an increased deterrence from sex trafficking and resulting in reduced prevalence of child sex trafficking. The ToC was also premised on the understanding that by improving government aftercare services and delivery of those services to sex trafficking victims, IJM would be able to increase victim recovery, reintegration, and restoration.
