Centre for Social Justice

Centre for Social Justice is first of its kind organizations that uses the judicial system to fight for the rights of marginalized.
(7)

The Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) is an initiative of the Institute for Development Education and Learning (IDEAL), a socio-legal non-governmental organization (NGO) registered under the aegis of the Societies Registration Act, 1860 and the Bombay Public Trust Act, 1950 in Gujarat, India. It is one of the first organizations of its kind in India with the aim to pursue justice and uphold and prom

ote human rights. The CSJ began operating through a network of law centres among vulnerable sections of society across Gujarat. Today, it has expanded operations to several states, including Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Assam, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka J&K. These centres consist of a team of lawyers, paralegals and researchers who take a holistic approach to human rights by providing litigative support as well as outreach to villages through law clinics. The main focus of these legal centres has been to defend the rights of women, Dalits, tribals, minorities and other socially vulnerable groups. Today, CSJ responds to almost 3,000 cases annually through these law centres. The law centres operate to provide:

Legal aid: Individual problems of people are addressed on a one-on-one basis. Legal awareness: Proliferation of information about legal rights through awareness programs. Alternative dispute resolution mechanism (ADR): Agencies other than courts are set up for settling disputes. These include activating state mechanisms, like permanent conciliation boards and family counselling centres. Law reform: Existing laws are challenged for not being sensitive to the needs of the vulnerable groups. In addition to providing litigative support to secure the rights of the vulnerable groups, CSJ takes up public advocacy campaigns, identifies human rights violations and serves as a watchdog for human rights abuses. It has played a pioneering role in demonstrating the successful operation of institutional intervention in the field of law. It has extensive experience training lawyers, law students, members of the lower judiciary, paralegals and socio-legal counsellors.

Pride was always a RIOT. ✊

We had great fun celebrating with Ahmedabad and discussing the laws on q***r rights with an audience filled with q***r people and health workers.

We hope to do MUCH more to increase q***r access to justice.

The diversity in the office directly translates into the quality of the work we do. A colleague with a unique lived experience is a brand new lens through which we understand society and what new forms social justice might take.

On this International Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate the diverse representations of gender in our workplace and embrace how it has made CSJ all the more colourful

It's not black magic, just inadequate healthcare!
Witchcraft accusations mirror the ills of society- be it misogyny and patriarchy or, in this case, insufficient medical care and a lack of awareness about health and illness.

The path to justice is twisted. Sometimes you come across demons and sometimes you meet an angel. This post is about those angels that don't have wings but do all their helping humanity work with the flick of a pen

Help will always be given to those who ask for it. And we asked the right person. CSJ's All Angels Don't Have Wings series tells us about all the officials who make up the administrative machinery who help in all the ways they can and make the world just a little bit better

While it's a tale as old as time, even today women who rebel against the social order continue to be oppressed by being labeled as 'witches'

Imagine this: you're a who is passionate about .
But you feel that a desk job isn't enough. You want to know what life's like for those who are most affected by human rights violations.

But then you also feel fear: "I don't know enough.. I have never been to a village.. or met a trade union..or even been to a police station."

"How can I fight for human rights without knowing all this?"

Still with us? Good. Because we have great news for you.

The YPPLE is a unique opportunity designed just for those law school grads who want to apply their cutting-edge law school education to fight for human rights by learning about what it is like in the field.

The YPPLE places young lawyers in the field, with each person getting to learn a lot about grassroot realities as well as themselves. We have been doing this for 10 years now, and the experience has been wonderful for both, CSJ and out YPs, and all the people on whom we've together made an impact.

The YP Programme 2024 is now open. Be seeing you soon. Apply here: https://forms.gle/viskQLt9U5sAVm2D7
