Why Microjustice?
Rights are universal entitlements, and should be accessible to all. But
delivering rights is more than
a moral duty. Justice is a proven concept for overcoming poverty and
stimulating human development. Legal identity means access to education,
health care and the economy. In secure, safe relationships, people will
invest more. For themselves, but also for their children, for their
community and for their business partners.
Unfortunately, justice is hard to deliver. Throughout the world, lawyers,
courts and legislators find it difficult to serve the poor. Legal
empowerment through innovative, low cost legal services is needed.

What is Microjustice?
Microjustice uses a self-organizing, bottom-up approach to facilitating access to justice and legally empowering the poor. Low cost processes, fair solutions and transparency are key.
What is the Microjustice Initiative?
The Microjustice Initiative (MJI), launched in 2007, was founded by Tilburg University and International Legal Alliances to develop a structural and sustainable system for enhancing access to rights for all. We encourage the development and implementation of affordable and sustainable solutions to the problem of access to justice, for those living on the Base-of-the-Pyramid by initiating and supporting projects, exchanging knowledge, experience and best practices and by establishing relationships between stakeholders globally.
We initiate and support projects, exchange of knowledge, experiences and best practices and establishes relationships between stakeholders globally. Together with its partner organizations.
