WHAT WE DO

Applied legal research, policy analysis, and legal literacy training that build the capacity of CBOs and grassroots movements to navigate and speak with authority on the legal and policy systems that affect them.

This includes our signature Legal Café and Policy Speed Dial model, offering community-level legal walkthroughs and on-call legal and policy advisory support as well as training on building public interest litigation cases

Research and training that treat climate vulnerability, economic exclusion, and gender inequity as interconnected, with a focus on the lived realities of women and girls in rural and marginalised communities to promote sustainable adaptability and resilience.

Advocacy and applied research recognising unpaid care and domestic work as a matter of economic justice, aimed at shifting both policy recognition and public narrative around who carries the cost of care.

Legal support, systems navigation, and public awareness work that empowers survivors to engage the criminal justice system as informed rights-holders, alongside training for criminal justice institutions to respond appropriately.

A dedicated public health pillar addressing the needs of HIV key populations and advancing adolescent and youth-focused sexual and reproductive health and rights, grounded in the social and structural determinants of health.

Because legal gains are fragile where public narrative remains hostile, ISEJ also works to expand public imagination through storytelling, documentary, and creative advocacy sparking the curiosity that makes space for durable change.
