Healing with truth. Fighting for justice.

“Every day, we witness both the pain and the power of families searching for their loved ones. Their courage reminds us that justice isn’t just a goal, it's a promise we must keep.”—
Ana Rodríguez, Legal Advocate, United Justice

United Justice stands with survivors of human trafficking

and families of the disappeared, providing legal advocacy, search support, and pathways to healing.

Hope beyond the disappeared: Justice can’t wait.

The fight for human rights protections is not about short term solutions. Defending human rights means showing up for the one and the masses.

Across Mexico, more than 114,000 people remain disappeared, each one a name, a face, and a story left in silence. Many of these disappearances are linked to human trafficking networks that exploit the most vulnerable, especially women and children. Behind every number is a family searching for truth, often facing threats, corruption, and indifference.United Justice was founded to change that. Through legal advocacy, family search support, and survivor empowerment, we work on both sides of the crisis,  helping families of the disappeared and survivors of trafficking rebuild their lives and pursue justice.Our team assists in investigating cases, providing legal representation, and walks with families in live and posthumous searches for their missing children. We also support survivors in healing from trauma and reclaiming their voices as leaders for change.We believe justice is not a privilege, it’s a right. Together, we can restore dignity to victims, hope to families, and accountability to institutions. Every action, every donation, and every voice brings us closer to a Mexico where no one disappears without a trace, and no survivor is left behind. 
Get Involved

Real numbers. Real lives.

13,588 new cases
of missing and disappeared individuals were registered in 2024 
120,740 cases
have been recorded since 1962, with nearly 100,000 still unresolved.

Citizen groups and the UN suggest actual numbers may be significantly higher due to underreporting and removal of cases.

“United Justice has been a huge blessing for me and my son. They have changed our lives with continuous support for over three years, helping get my son in school and helping me learn how to have a business of my own” -
- Samantha a Venezuelan survivor participating in UJ’s prevention programs in Ecuador.
I have lived in Peru, Ecuador and Colombia with my two children. We had to leave Venezuela and we have had to endure many hardships, especially racism. I am truly grateful to United Justice, they have been like angels to us. I have felt supported and they care for the women and children like us that have to leave the country to survive.
- Martha, Venezuelan survivor in Ecuador. 
I heard about the work of United Justice while living in Cucuta, Colombia. As a Venezuelan immigrant I have volunteered on the border in Colombia/Venezuela, helping at risk women and children for UJ. I became a mentor for survivors of sex trafficking, and then became a beneficiary when I needed help. I am extremely grateful to United Justice for what they bring to my community.
