JASS (Just Associates), an international women’s human rights organization anchored by its regional networks in Southeast Asia, Southern Africa and Mesoamerica, is dedicated to strengthening women’s voice, visibility and collective power to advance justice for all. Our operations in Jakarta, Phnom Penh, Cape Town, Honduras, and Mexico City directly support diverse women’s leadership and movement-building initiatives and are linked by a virtual and Washington DC-based cross-regional operation focused on fundraising, financial management, communications and strategic advocacy. JASS’ work is carried out by 35+ full and part-time staff spread across 15 countries worldwide who are supported by a set of strategic Advisors and Board members. In 2015, we launched an organizational strengthening process to improve JASS’ effectiveness, resilience and sustainability including better aligning our regional and cross-regional/global work to increase impact, activating our growing networks, and improving our internal organizational governance, systems and procedures.

JASS is committed to feminist movement building through strengthening and sustaining the collective organizing power of women and communities marginalized by class, race, ethnicity, age, and other factors. We believe that strong movements are essential to challenging the ideas, institutions and policies that perpetuate injustice.
