Hope for Justice was founded in the UK in 2008. In 2014, the charity merged with Abolition International, the anti-trafficking organization founded by Grammy-nominated recording artist Natalie Grant, and with Cambodia-based Transitions Global. In 2018, the charity Retrak, which helps vulnerable street children in Africa, became part of the Hope for Justice family, whose worldwide operations are now spread across four continents and more than 20 locations.
