Citizens for Justice and Peace Information

Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP) is a Human Rights movement dedicated to upholding and defending the freedom and constitutional rights of all Indians. We call our focus areas our Four Pillars. These are: Minority Rights - Rights of religious, ethnic, caste, gender and sexual minorities as well as persons with disabilities. Freedom of Expression - A healthy and vibrant democracy always respects free expression and the dignity of different belief systems, cultures and languages. Hate speech, we believe, is an abuse of this freedom. Criminal Justice Reform - CJP believes that our agencies - investigation, prosecutorial and judicial - need further democratisation to ensure both, quality and quick justice delivery. Child Rights & Education - CJP works to inculcate pluralism and Constitutional values in young minds. We also work in the field of Juvenile Justice Reform and protection of children from Sexual Abuse. All our campaigns are aimed at empowering the disempowered and defending their rights and freedoms, so that all Indians may live in peace and with dignity.
