MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen in the Leaders in Action segment, spotlights a powerful partnership tackling one of the most urgent human rights issues in Asia: the fight against violence and exploitation. Joining Glenn are Rae Lee, Executive Director of International Justice Mission (IJM) Singapore & Southeast Asia, and Raj Singh, CEO of Coco Veda.

For 25 years, IJM has worked with governments around the world to rescue victims, prosecute offenders, strengthen justice systems, and restore survivors to safety. Their mission is bold: rescue millions, protect half a billion, and make justice unstoppable.

We explore IJM’s work across the region — from combating online sexual exploitation of children in the Philippines to fighting forced labour in Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Indonesia.

Coco Veda’s partnership with IJM is rooted in shared values: dignity, ethical impact, and community empowerment. Through their LiveWell initiative, Coco Veda is donating 30% of proceeds from selected wellness gift sets to support IJM’s work — turning everyday consumer choices into meaningful protection for vulnerable children.

We discuss the four pillars of IJM’s protection model, the scale of the problem, and the simple actions individuals and businesses can take to help.
