Just Futures Collaborative is a feminist initiative cultivating global cross-movement strategies for challenging criminalization, promoting human rights, and protecting democracy.

We bring together people and groups that are challenging criminalization and experimenting with approaches that address harm with humanity. We ignite collaboration, collective imagination and power for just futures and counter highly coordinated anti-gender, anti-democracy actors.

“This penchant for violent forms of punishment is a result of us as societies being wedded to the punitive and carceral approach to dealing with issues that require community-based, social responses. Our responses should address the root causes of discrimination, marginalisation and rights-violations faced by particular communities - which are the very reasons these communities are more likely to be arrested and incarcerated. The state and (most of) society believe that locking someone up and throwing away the key solves the issue, but it only compounds it.”
