We are a community of lawyers. We are justice defenders, activists and organizers, educators, public interest lawyers, law students, and people with a passion for justice. We tackle a wide range of justice issues, from gender equality to land rights, housing discrimination, statelessness, pretrial detention, and much more. We live and work in solidarity with individuals, organisations and communities facing injustice.
While we come from different backgrounds, we are united by a common approach – a process known as legal empowerment. Through this process, we help communities to know, use, and shape the law, so that the people most impacted by injustice can exercise their rights and take part in decisions that affect their lives.

what we do
Across the globe, our members are working at the frontlines of struggles for justice, building power in communities where injustice and environmental destruction are concentrated. When we come together, each from our own context, we combine our knowledge and ideas and work as a united movement. As a collective, we gain the ability to unlock solutions to the biggest justice problems and build a world where justice for all is a reality. We welcome complaints of human rights violations from individuals, corporate bodies, NGOs, and any person whose rights have been infringed upon either by government agencies, law enforcement agents, individuals or corporate bodies. We offer free legal services to the indigent, vulnerable persons and any person whose rights have been, is being or is likely to be infringed upon. We equally carry out advocacy, sensitizing people of their Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights, as well as their political, social and economic rights.
