The Fund Legal Empowerment Programme 2023. The Fund for Global Human Rights is now accepting submissions for the Legal Empowerment Fund 2023 (LEF), which will give grassroots justice advocates and organizations the urgently required, long-term support they need to fight for people’s understanding of and assertion of their rights while influencing the laws that govern them.
Legal empowerment combines the law with organizing to provide those who are the victims of injustice more authority. People can access justice when they are able to understand, apply, and influence the law.
People are better equipped to find peaceful solutions, defend the lands and resources they rely on, and hold their leaders and other injustice-committers accountable when the law is on their side.
The LEF wants to generate $100 million over ten years to support the people-centered justice movement.
The LEF will provide sustainable, long-term core funding to visionary grassroots justice organizations while providing a platform for experimentation and visibility to a worldwide network of supporters.
