The Justice Desk is a Human Rights non-profit organisation operating in South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe. We were established in 2013, with the main goal of Promoting the Power of Everyday Activism.In order to do this, we empower ordinary people to understand and defend their Human Rights – so that they can transform society and create a more just and equal world! We also work alongside civil society, NGOs, businesses, and governments across the globe to challenge and eliminate the root causes of injustice.
The Justice Desk Project Coordinator to be based in head office is in Cape Town, South Africa.
The Mbokodo Club (The Rock Club) project focuses on contributing towards achieving the end of gender-based violence, by creating an incredible sisterhood of girls fighting for gender equality. The project focuses on girl survivors of rape and GBV from marginalized communities, and offers leadership and empowerment workshops; self-defense and fitness sessions; as well as mental health care and support. The motto of this project is “wathint’abafazi wathint’imbokodo” which translates to “you strike a woman; you strike a rock”.
