Evidence into reform

Advocacy and systems change

GJK turns case learning, survivor experience and legal research into policy engagement, institutional accountability and practical reform at national, regional and international levels.

The aim is not visibility alone. Advocacy is used to improve laws and practice, strengthen protection and complaint systems, expose patterns of abuse and ensure that institutions respond effectively to rights holders.

Programme priorities

How this work advances justice.

The programme connects evidence to decision-making so reform is grounded in lived realities, legal duties and the practical barriers that rights holders encounter.

Learn from cases

Identify recurring barriers, institutional failures and promising practices through survivor experience, casework and legal research.

Engage decision-makers

Bring evidence and practical recommendations into national, regional and international policy and accountability processes.

Change systems

Improve laws, complaint mechanisms, protection practice and institutional coordination so rights are realised more consistently.

Advocacy in action

Public engagement that advances change.
