A GLOBAL IMPACT

International Bridges to Justice is a global leader in changing access to justice systems, with an impact that spans more than 20 years. Every day, in countries around the world, hundreds of thousands of people are arbitrarily detained, tortured, and denied access to counsel. This problem can be solved by ensuring the protection of vulnerable defendants through prompt access to lawyers in police stations, prisons and courtrooms.

With more than 30,000 legal advocates, IBJ rescues people trapped in failing justice systems at the local level, improves public justice at the national level, and leads a movement for legal rights globally.

With our IBJ JusticeHub digital platform , and our Lawyer2Lawyer Program we are strengthening this global collaboration to achieve ever greater impact. We have over 90 working groups that need help and are looking for collaborators. Please see our Priority JusticeHub projects, so that we can make a difference together.

Read more to find out what their goals and accomplishments were! Here are a couple of their case success stories: In Kenya, a woman who was arrested and detained for a COVID-19 curfew violation. Unaware of her rights, she spent two days in jail and nearly plead guilty in court. An AA2J defender successfully argued that no offense was committed, and the woman was released. Her six year old son was alone during her time in custody, but thankfully survived upon her return home. In Tanzania, a 34-year-old mother and fish vendor was wrongfully arrested by the police after she unknowingly bought stolen cooking oil. AA2J defenders obtained her release on bail so she can care for her children. Matui encouraged her defenders to follow the mother's case and continue work in rural areas. #ibj #ibjglobal #internationalbridges #justice #justicemakers #womenlawyers

Although the program is done, their work does not stop here. Joelle reinforced ties between the JusticeMakers and the Rwanda Bar Association. Through these relationships, she was able to enter into facilities and personality meet with women prisoners. Ramatoulaye developed relationships juvenile court judges who informed her of any child facing criminal charges and lacking legal representation. Her partnerships were especially important during a spike in COVID-19 when access to prisons was restricted. #ibjglobal #ibj #internationalbridgestojustice #prisonreform #womendefenders #justice #justicemakers
