JASS identifies dynamic women leaders from a wide range of contexts and experiences to bring their expertise. Through feminist political education, analytical training and alliance-building, JASS strengthens and supports women’s organising from the grassroots and beyond.
JASS builds women’s voice, strengthening their capacity to use communications to break down barriers, speak out against violence, oppression and inequality, and put their issues on the negotiating table.
To fight against violence in its many forms across the region, JASS has developed the Heart—Mind—Body methodology, a political approach that builds and strengthens solidarity and creates safe spaces for reflection and analysis beyond formal structures.
JASS’ country initiatives train and accompany women activists, connecting them with cutting edge formal and informal networks from the local to regional levels to build movements from the ground up.
