JUSTICE AND PEACE
Adwso works with communities, governments and human rights defenders to design lasting solutions to conflict, injustice and insecurity.
Shrinking space for civil society
Civil society is the foundation of our security and justice initiatives. Unfortunately, in recent years, the space for civil society to advocate and lobby for fundamental rights has shrunk significantly.
In several countries, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the right to congregate was prohibited by the authorities. In some cases, the measures to reduce citizens’ freedom of speech are still active and undermine attempts to hold authorities accountable.
In other countries, the democratically elected government has been overthrown by the military, after which the ability of civil society actors to operate freely becomes limited.
Better security, justice and governance outcomes
We strengthen the capacities of people to effectively advocate and achieve better security, justice and governance outcomes. We do this through joint research and analysis of the needs and priorities of justice seekers and capacity strengthening for better advocacy and influencing strategies.
