The World Justice Challenge 2019: Access to Justice Solutions is now open for submissions. Applications are due February 8, 2019.
More than three billion people have unmet justice needs globally. This justice gap includes people who cannot obtain justice for everyday problems and people who face systematic exclusion from the law.
The World Justice Challenge 2019 is a competition to identify, recognize, and promote good practices and successful solutions to improve access to justice. These can include solutions that reduce barriers to resolving everyday justice problems, respond to the unmet justice needs of vulnerable populations, or address systematic forms of exclusion and injustice. The World Justice Challenge is designed to highlight projects that have shown demonstrable results and impacts, and showcase promising prospects for future progress, replication, and scaling.
