Platform for Social Justice
        
Year of joining GAAMAC: 2018

The Platform for Social Justice (PSJ) is an independent non-governmental human rights organization that works to promote justice for marginalized persons and promote sustainable economic justice in rural areas in Uganda. PSJ cherishes involving, initiating and encouraging government, community members, and victims of human rights abuse to be part of human rights promotion, protection and advocacy processes.

PSJ works with rural communities to challenge the root causes of injustice by building their skills and increasing their knowledge to identify solutions for lasting change impacting their lives as dignified and respected citizens, thus promoting social transformation in affected rural communities.

PSJ joined GAAMAC to enhance dialogue and the sharing of information, in Uganda and worldwide. Through GAAMAC it wished to make its voice head at the community, national and international level, and be linked to State actors, civil society and private institutions working towards atrocity prevention.

“We are part of GAAMAC because we believe mass atrocities can be prevented with sufficient passion, commitment and meaningful partnerships.”

Juliet Nakyanzi, Founder
Professor Yehuda Bauer, Honorary Chairman of the IHRA, passed away on 18 October 2024. GAAMAC is profoundly grateful for his contribution to prevention efforts and for his support for GAAMAC’s work. He will be dearly remembered, and his work will continue to guide and inspire us.
