Who
We
Are
Mukuru community justice centre is a community based organization of human rights defenders from different formations and groups from mukuru informal settlements who are working on different human rights issues to offer solidarity and work together for a just society
Majority of Mukuru residents work in industrial area which is in close proximity and local construction sites. There are so many human rights violations that affect the development of the community. The major vice is poverty, police brutality and extrajudicial killings, sexual and gender based violence, forced evictions and land grabbing, lack of political accountability.
Mukuru Community Justice Centre aims in achieving a free and just Community, that respects human rights.

Mukuru Community Justice Centre held a community dialogue on 5th of December 2023, at Amusha hall as from 11am-1pm. The aim of the meeting was in line with the 16 Days of Activism initiative that is held annually that aims to address any forms of violence that is directed towards women. The dialogue was set to understand the level of violence that is in Mukuru and the impact it has in attaining zero cases of Women Violence.
The meeting attracted 40 participants from different CBOs and local NGOs, 90% youths and 10% local leaders.
Our Causes
We saw there was need to rise up against impunity through documentation of all human rights violations, advocacy and giving the community hope for a just mukuru society.
