The biennial Grassroots Justice Prize competition recognizes grassroots organizations and institutions, large and small, across the globe, that are working to put the power of law in people's hands.
Nearly 200 organizations from around the world applied for the three awards offered under this year's competition. From India to Togo to Colombia, they are tackling some of the greatest injustices of our time by helping people to know, use, and shape the law.
On World Social Justice Day (February 20th, 2018) we announced and celebrated the winners at a ceremony in Argentina. To learn more about the inspirational winners and the finalists for each of the three prize categories, click on the links below.
