A Hop, Skip, and a Jungle Away: From the Global South to Sarayaku
By Ana María Ramírez |
We believe that empowered communities imbued in a culture of inclusiveness, and stronger, more rights-focused institutions can ignite virtuous cycles of community engagement, policy reform, and accountability. We work to strengthen the rule of law and the voice of the Global South, empower vulnerable and marginalized communities, and combat inequality with a human rights focus.
Our teams work in seven thematic areas, nationally and internationally.
Anti-Discrimination
We work to guarantee the right to equality. Our areas of focus are Ethnic and Racial Discrimination, and Gender Discrimination.
Drug Policy
We work to incorporate a human rights and public health focus into existing drug policies, with both an international and a national focus.
Economic Justice
We address issues of economic justice through our work in economic, social and cultural rights (ESCR), with our focus on justiciability and tax policy, and with our work in Business and Human Rights.
Environmental Justice
We combine research and activism to protect the right to a healthy environment through the promotion of public participation in environmental decision making, sustainable territorial planning, and a human rights approach to climate change impacts.
Judicial System
We contribute expertise and seek to influence the design and provision of judicial services and the protection of Constitutional and other legal rights.
Rule of Law
Our areas of focus are: Strengthening Institutions & Independent Judicial Systems; Freedom of Expression, and Privacy, Intelligence & Access to Information.
Transitional Justice
We focus on the rights of victims to truth, justice, reparation and reconciliation in Colombia, with an international perspective, which we bring through case studies of constitutional transitions in other regions and countries.
Dejusticia is an action-research center for legal and social studies. We believe that academic research can be committed to social justice and that our direct advocacy can be enriched by rigorous research. We are multidisciplinary and unafraid to experiment with multiple tools to effect change.
We have five cross-cutting teams, which work across all issue areas, just as issue areas collaborate with all cross-cutting teams.

Dejusticia has launched multiple initiatives that have become stand-alone projects. This is part of our work to strengthen the voice of the Global South and provide useful tools for diverse communities.
