Fundación por la Justicia
The “Foundation for Justice” is a non profitable organisation that works on the field of Human Rights through our involvement in projects on three main areas: awareness raising, training and development cooperation.
Our goal is to contribute in influencing changes in attitudes and behaviour in society at large by assessing the current situation of justice and promoting values such as peace, democracy and solidarity both in Spain as well as in less developed countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
Areas of work
Assessing current situation of justice: We carry out regular reports on the situation of Justice and Human Rights in Spain and Latin America.
Training: We offer courses and seminars in subjects related to Law, especially in Human Rights aimed at professionals, students and members of NGOs interested in those topics.
Awareness raising: From the Foundation, we consider crucial to make society aware about the importance and respect to Human Rights. For this purpose, we organise, participate and colaborate in campaigns and cultural events such as photograph exhibitions and charity sport competitions.
The most relevant activities in the Awareness Raising Area are:
Internacional Film Festival on Peace and Human Rights
The Foundation for Justice organises every year the Internacional Film Festival on Peace and Human Rights with the aim of making accesible to the citizens of the Valencian Community a sort of filming which is thought provoking and committed.
