Justice Call for Rights and
Development

Justice Call is an independent Egyptian legal organization established in 2018, aiming to strengthen legal awareness within the community by providing high quality legal knowledge of the rules of International Human Rights Law and International Humanitarian Law for lawyers, researchers and academics with a focus on young people.

Justice Call provides legal and technical support for initiatives and community organizations, based on its belief in the role of civil society in promoting the comprehensive development process. In addition to attaining a society in which the values of justice and human rights respect prevail, within the framework of the SDG 16+.

Our Theory of Change.

We believe that the rule of law and respect for human rights are the only way to reach free democratic societies in which everyone has human dignity on an equal basis with others. This will ultimately ensure the elimination of all forms of violence, discrimination, racism and on the other hand, contribute to a positive and sustainable peace. We believe that the road to these goals requires the concerted collective efforts of initiatives, movements and related entities to work extensively and jointly to spread and establish respect for human rights, the values of justice and the rule of
law.

So our Theory of Change is: If we develop and strengthen the capabilities of young people and organizations led by young people to bring about change through capacity building, networking and legal protection programs, it will enhance the ability of these groups to survive as well as their impact on decision makers and governments. In particular, the youth will be less likely to resort to violent extremism as they will be able to express their voices and opinions in order to bring the change that they seek in a peaceful manner.
