Programs
3 programs
General program - build capacity and courage through the sahr justice lab, we strengthen the capacity and courage of human rights defenders and lawyers. Our peer-led workshops and practice-based curriculum equip advocates to lead strategic litigation and systemic legal reform at the frontlines of gender justice. Provide legal, protection, and advocacy support we offer urgent legal, protection, and advocacy support to survivors of gender-based violence and human rights defenders. Our team regularly engages in high-level advocacy before the eu, the u.s. State department, and un special rapporteurs and agencies to advance accountability and protection. Communicate to educate through the sahr justice podcast, we reimagine what justice work looks like amid war, polarization, and fundamentalism. We amplify the voices and lived experiences of justice advocates driving change in their communities. Network for impact we connect and collaborate with human rights advocates and institutions worldwide to build collective momentum for legal and policy reform-and to safeguard against the erosion of hard-won rights.
Gender justice fellowship - the sahr gender justice accelerator is a 12-month legal development and leadership program that equips lawyers and human rights defenders with the skills, networks, and strategic support to transform laws and policies that perpetuate sexual and gender-based violence (sgbv). The program dismantles barriers to participation in policy-making by fostering a community of practice where advocates gain the legal expertise, political fluency, and international connections needed to drive systemic change. More than a support program, the accelerator cultivates leadership and amplifies voices that are too often excluded from legal and policy spaces. Through our model, participants gain hands-on experience and collaborative opportunities to translate knowledge into impact. Core strategies legal mentorship and capacity building: on-the-job guidance for lawyers and human rights defenders working on strategic litigation, law reform, and policy initiatives advancing gender justice. Peer-to-peer linkages: facilitating connections between gender justice advocates across regions to share strategies, solidarity, and expertise. Joint advocacy: coordinated advocacy and reporting before international and regional bodies, including the united nations, to influence global norms and accountability frameworks.
