Since 2007, Justice Centre has worked to support marginalised migrants in Hong Kong

› about us

Driving Change for a fair & just society 

Justice Centre is a non-profit non-political organisation which envisions Hong Kong as a fair and just society. To achieve this vision, our team works to protect some of the most disadvantaged and marginalised communities in Hong Kong – refugees, asylum seekers, and victims of torture, human trafficking and forced labour.

We provide direct support to people seeking protection in Hong Kong. Our team provides holistic services to enable access to legal information, quality legal representation, counselling and social welfare.

The Justice Centre team integrates sophisticated legal strategy, with authoritative research and targeted advocacy and awareness raising campaigns to challenge injustice and make lasting changes.

Through empowerment initiatives and public engagements, Justice Centre’s team brings visibility to the communities we work with and support them to amplify community voices.

Our team provides tailored support to women, children, LGBTIQA+ individuals, racial and ethnic minorities, stateless persons and other marginalised groups.

Erosions to the rule of law often begin at the margins of society, where unfairness or injustice is more likely to go unnoticed. The staff at Justice Centre believe that protecting the rights of the most vulnerable will ultimately benefit all Hong Kongers.

We work in partnership with community members across Hong Kong, challenging inequality with the ultimate aim of benefitting all Hong Kongers. We use research, policy, and community-centred advocacy to support, defend, and protect those who are most vulnerable to violations of their rights.

We provide direct assistance to those who have faced violations, helping them begin to heal by working to put laws and policies in place to make sure those violations don’t happen again.
 
And when community members’ rights and personal wellbeing are under threat, we assist with asylum claims, use strategic litigation to set precedent, and work to ensure that others don’t someday face the same mistreatment.
At a time when people are sharing their stories through digital media and making issues of injustice more visible than ever, Justice Centre is focused on bringing visibility to Hong Kong communities that are too often ignored or forgotten – and helping them tell their stories in cases where they’re unable to do so themselves.
 
From working to ensure that refugees, victims of torture and human trafficking have legal representation to challenging laws that reinforce disparities and negative social outcomes for women, children, racial and ethnic minorities, and LGBTQ individuals, Justice Centre uses policy, advocacy, and direct action services to help realise a fairer, just, and equitable Hong Kong.
