Systemic Justice, community-driven litigation for racial, social, and economic justice
“Systemic Justice works to radically transform how the law works for communities fighting for racial, social, and economic justice.
Centring affected communities in joint litigation, Systemic Justice works to help broaden access to judicial remedies for those fighting for justice and equality. This will help dismantle the power structures that sustain and fuel racial, social, and economic injustice.
Systemic Justice is a new NGO that partners with organisations working on racial, social, and economic justice to bring about change through strategic litigation.
Systemic Justice was founded by human rights lawyer Nani Jansen Reventlow who is specialised in strategic litigation at the intersection of human rights, social justice, and technology. (..)
Systemic Justice is the first Black-led, majority Black people and people of colour (BPOC) organisation in Europe working on community-driven litigation for racial, social, and economic justice.
We were established to partner with and support communities in their fights for social justice, and our vision is of a society where organisations, movements, and collectives (OMCs) can leverage the courts through strategic litigation and community-led campaigns against racial, social, and economic injustice.
Surfacing Systemic (In)justices: A Community View shares findings from an extensive Europe-wide consultation undertaken by Systemic Justice that seeks to learn from the perspectives and experiences of affected community groups and organisations, in order to inform potential litigation and other strategies for change.
Taken together, the findings in this report provide a rich and multi-layered insight into the harms of inequality and injustice across Europe.”
