School for Justice

To empower suvivors of sexual exploitation and help them become change agents who fight impunity and change the system from within, we educate these girls in our School for Justice.

School for Justice is an award-winning program for survivors of sexual exploitation who become change agents. In the School for Justice program, survivors become human rights professionals such as lawyers, paralegals, prosecutors, journalists, counselors and police officers so they can change the system from the inside out.

 

Change agents

The School for Justice change agents raise awareness on national and local platforms about the problem of sexual exploitation and play an active role in the fight and providing access to justice. We are seeing girls who had been living in vulnerable situations being transformed into change agents and powerful women who can make a difference in society. Women who fight for their rights and those of their peers. They are passionate to do so.
