Building a movement

We work with many partners and networks, to support and build wider movements for the reform of criminal justice systems around the world. These partners include local and international NGOs, lawyers and other criminal justice professionals, policymakers and academics.

Every country – and some cities and regions – has their own legal system, as well as their own political and social landscape. This is why we always work with local partners when we are campaigning for reform. However, as the only international organisation campaigning exclusively on fair trials rights, we can bring global expertise to local movements for reform. We act as a broker, connecting people and ideas across sectors and borders.
