Social Justice Center is a left-wing organization working on human rights and social justice, which aims to identify the structural reasons for economic, social, and political inequality, and to share critical knowledge while contributing to the transformation of the existing order via democratic means. The Social Justice Center fights for creating an environment for all social groups, which will be fair, inclusive, and democratic on political, as well as economic and social levels. Organization acts in line with principles, which are focused on bottom-up democratic organization, critical knowledge and the building of cohesive networks, and for this, it is using the radical potential inherent in the activist means of struggle and in individual and collective rights. To accomplish these purposes, Social Justice Center works on the issues of social and equality policies, judicial matters and democracy. The Social Policy Program works on developing such social and economic policies, which are based on principles of social justice, solidarity, and human rights. The Equality Policy Program works on embedding an inclusive and fair understanding of citizenship and on developing a political and social environment for non-dominant groups, which will be truly equal and cohesive. One of the purposes of the Justice and Democracy Program is to strive for freeing the existing political system from a centralized power devoid of democratic control. The second purpose is to develop justice and law-enforcement systems, which will be accessible, socially sensitive and based on ideals of human rights.
