Asia Justice and Rights (AJAR)

“AJAR taught me about human rights and how to help victims have a voice. My ethnic community is a victim of genocide by the Myanmar military government. As a refugee, I dream of bringing change to my community and working for an international organisation. AJAR activities have helped me develop myself,” (Abu Toyub, Rohingya student activist from Kutupalong Camp in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh)

People trapped in cycles of war and political violence experience mass human rights violations that can break their countries, communities, and themselves.

AJAR’s mission is to build cultures based on accountability and justice, and to prevent the recurrence of state-sanctioned human rights violations. Combating impunity and building strong mechanisms to achieve accountability and respect for victims are essential elements in the quest for peace and prosperity.

AJAR emphasises south-south learning through regional trainings, workshops, exchanges, research studies, and advocacy initiatives. Culturally appropriate, innovative, and participatory methodologies are employed to ensure learning opportunities succeed and lessons are retained and applied.

Asia Justice and Rights is working for a fairer and accountable world, free from impunity. Every dollar you give helps strengthen human rights in Asia and the Pacific.
