Hope for Justice is a global non-profit organisation which aims to end human trafficking and modern slavery. It is active in the United Kingdom, United States, Cambodia, Norway, Ethiopia and Uganda and has its headquarters in Manchester, England.

Hope for Justice seeks to investigate and rescue trafficking victims, assist in aftercare, hold traffickers accountable, and campaign on a wider level to improve awareness and legislation.[2] According to press releases, Hope for Justice has assisted in the rescue of 142 victims of human trafficking as of January 2014.[3]

In 2014, it merged with Abolition International and Transitions Global to become a worldwide organization to fight human trafficking.[4]. In 2018, the street children charity Retrak, active primarily in African countries, became part of Hope for Justice.[5].
