Just Associates
JASS is a feminist movement support organization dedicated to building the voice, visibility, and collective power of women for a just and sustainable world for all. We equip and strengthen the leadership and organizing capacity of women leaders and their organizations and networks in Mesoamerica, Southeast Asia, and Southern Africa.
Our feminist movement building work supports marginalized women leaders (indigenous and rural land defenders, sex workers, garment workers, LBTQI+, HIV+, and young activists) in critically unpacking the power dynamics affecting their lives from the personal to the public, from the local to the global, as to transform the systems, structures and beliefs that perpetuate inequity, injustice, and violence. Our tested approach enables the conditions for women to organize, mobilize and transform power in four areas of their lives: Bodies, Voice, Resources, and Safety.
