Description: A movement of defenders working to provide legal education, training, and practice within defenceless communities. Justice Defenders is a UK-based charity & U.S. nonprofit featured by CBS on 60 Minutes.
Training paralegals and lawyers within defenceless communities to provide legal services for themselves and others. Because everyone deserves a fair hearing.
Worldwide, three million men, women, and children are being held in overcrowded prisons without a trial. Countless voices are lost in the noise. But we are listening.
Founded in 2007, Justice Defenders is a movement from all walks of life. As a registered US nonprofit and UK charity working across three African countries, we are a community of prisoners, prison officers, lawyers, judges, and allies. Unlikely companions, working together for justice.
