Our programmes
Justice & Peace is committed to creating a lasting impact on human rights and social justice, working with change makers both internationally and within the Netherlands.
To accomplish this goal, Justice & Peace has organised its work into two programmes: Human rights defenders & Security and Migration & Human rights.
Human rights defenders & Security
In a world where human rights defenders often face adversity and work at the cost of their safety and well-being, we stand by them. This programme focuses on their empowerment, protection, and security. By creating safe spaces where they can re-energise, re-strategise, receive capacity building, and rest, we ensure they can continue their work more safely and effectively over the longer term. The programme comprises three distinct initiatives: Shelter City, Artists’ Safe Haven and Activist Lab.
Migration & Human rights
We want to see a world where all refugees have safe access to a welcoming place. The programme aims to foster local solidarity with refugees and realise a more humane policy for the reception and resettlement of refugees in the Netherlands. By forming groups for a year, refugees and local communities together are empowered to cultivate stable social connections, bridge gaps and overcome barriers. Currently, it consists of the Samen Hier (Together Here) initiative.
