About us
Justice Centre is a Hong Kong based independent organisation that assists people to have a fair chance for justice through providing direct assistance to victims and advocating for change. It has helped thousands of men, women and children seeking protection from violence and trauma in Hong Kong since its beginnings in 2007. Building on our expertise in working with refugees and torture victims, we expanded our remit to tackle forced labour and human trafficking in Hong Kong in 2014. From January 2020, we are further expanding our mandate to assist anyone in Hong Kong facing inequality who struggles to have access to justice.
Our Future
We assist over 300 people each year through our direct legal and psychosocial services but we recognise there are many more who need our help. We strive for systemic change through our research, policy and advocacy work, to benefit the many more in need through partnering with international organisations including the United Nations, local and international NGOs, local and international universities and the Hong Kong community itself.
Mission
We challenge inequality to bring visibility to the communities we work with through direct assistance, research, policy, advocacy, strategic litigation and capacity building.
