Centre for Women's Justice

Description

The Centre for Women's Justice is a charitable organisation whose vision is a society in which all state institutions work effectively to eradicate male violence against women and girls. Its mission is to hold the state to account and challenge discrimination in the justice system around male violence against women and girls. The Centre does this by holding the state accountable for failures in prevention; supporting individuals and groups who challenge institutions and laws that perpetuate such violence; undertaking strategic litigation and facilitating legal assistance; bringing together victims, women's groups, lawyers, academics and other experts in the field; raising awareness of specific cases and issues arising from its work; and monitoring and challenging trends in policy, practice and the law as they affect violence against women and girls. It operates as a second-tier service, providing legal advice principally to staff at frontline women's organisations rather than directly to the public, and produces research reports, policy submissions and legal guides.
