Justice Program

DPJ of Vila Velha (ES) / 2009

The JUSTICE PROGRAM works nationally, regionally and internationally to protect human rights and to promote access to justice for vulnerable groups who are victims of human rights violations in Brazil. It therefore develops strategic litigation and participates in the constitutional debate, particularly in the Supreme Federal Court. In doing so, it aims to destabilize human rights violations and hold the perpetrators accountable, in addition to causing political embarrassment and fostering public debate.

The Justice Program consists of the following projects:

• Strategic Litigation and advocacy: Prison and educational system
• Brazilian Supreme Court: participation in the constitutional debate
• Right to Health and Access to Medicines
