Rights & Justice

Introduction

Injustice thrives when voices go unheard. Around the world, systemic inequality, discrimination, and rights violations continue to impact the lives of millions—from refugees and marginalized groups to women, children, and Indigenous communities. Faces of Impact’s Rights & Justice Division works to protect human dignity, promote equity, and uphold international rights frameworks through advocacy, partnerships, and grassroots action.

The Need for Rights & Justice Initiatives

Every individual deserves equal protection under the law and the right to live with dignity. Yet barriers like poverty, corruption, violence, and legal discrimination persist.

• Legal Access: Millions lack access to fair legal representation or face criminalization for their identity, status, or beliefs.

• Gender & Minority Rights: Women and minority groups face high rates of violence, exclusion, and underrepresentation.

• Freedom & Safety: From journalists to human rights defenders, threats to safety are escalating in authoritarian and conflict-affected regions.

The Impact of Rights & Justice Work

Our division champions:

• Policy Change: Supporting reform of outdated or unjust laws and legal systems.
