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.

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.

Mukuru community justice centre acknowledges the sentencing of the accused to 20 years in prison for manslaughter, following a case we have closely followed.While no sentence can undo the loss of a life or erase the pain experienced by the bereaved family, we hope this outcome brings a measure of justice and affirms the importance of accountability.We stand in solidarity with the victims family and loved ones, recognising their grief and the lasting impact of their loss. We remain committed to supporting communities in their pursuit of justice, dignity and human rights.Justice is not only about accountability it is also about honouring the lives lost and standing with those left behind.
