⚖️ Justice systems are under growing pressure worldwide. Yet across regions, innovative people-centered approaches are helping drive meaningful change. 🌍 In a blog for @Mo_IbrahimFdn, @leena-badri reflects on the recent Justice Matters conference, hosted by HiiL (@InnoJustice), and highlights several initiatives advancing #AccessToJustice and justice reform globally, including efforts led by @nyuCIC. 🤝 Among them are Pathfinders and our African Alliance for People-Centered Justice (#AAPCJ) and Ibero-American Alliance for Access to Justice (#IBA), two initiatives helping connect justice leaders, strengthen collaboration, and advance practical solutions rooted in people’s everyday justice needs. 📌 At a time of compounding crises, #inequality, democratic backsliding, and conflict, building more accessible, inclusive, and people-centered justice systems is more important than ever. 📖 Read the blog: mo.ibrahim.foundation/news/2…. 💡Learn about the AAPCJ: sdg16.plus/african-alliance-…. 🔗 Learn about the Ibero-American Alliance for Access to Justice: sdg16.plus/ibero-american-al…. #JusticeForAll #PeopleCenteredJustice #SDG16 #InternationalCooperation #RuleOfLaw

Inspirational words from Jan Zanen at the #JusticeMatters Conference. 🏛️ He reminds us that in a polarized world, justice must be more than a moral theory, it must be a practical tool that serves people. When states fail, we all feel the impact. It’s time for courageous action.
