Jamaicans are decent, law-abiding citizens, and each is deserving of respect, freedom, equal access to fair and impartial treatment, and the right to enjoy a peaceful existence. Accordingly, JFJ believes in the protection of the Constitutional rights of every human being. JFJ’s work is guided by recognition and acceptance of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).

They work to defend human rights and secure justice. Jamaicans for Justice (JFJ) provides legal support to victims of human rights violations, campaigns for social justice causes, and conducts research and advocacy to improve laws and policies. They are one of Jamaica’s leading non-profit organizations working to achieve a just and equitable society for all.
