Centre for Social Justice

Centre for Social Justice (“CSJ”), established in 1993, is a human rights organi-sation fighting for the rights of the marginalised and vulnerable. Inspired by Freirean thought, CSJ has been active in more than ten states across India making human rights interventions by using law as a key strategy through an intimate engagement with grassroots’ realities. CSJ fulfills its mandate by training and strengthening community lawyers and paralegals by building their capacities to deliver change-inducing leadership in their communities through a network of law centres; one of CSJ’s core competencies relates to their capacity-building initiatives, a flagship example being their Lawyers For Change (“LFC”) fellowship programme. A pioneer in the field of access to justice, CSJ has also made path-breaking institutional interventions in the form of research, legal reforms and initiatives bringing together grassroots activism, law and policy-making on a wide array of issues affecting women, dalits, adivasis, minorities and other socio-economically vulnerable groups.
