The JusticeMakers 2012 HIV/AIDS Global Competition awards 12 fellowships worth 5000 USD in seed funding each, with which JusticeMakers will implement projects that advance the legal rights of people living with HIV/AIDS within the criminal justice system.

Blog: Our Diverse Fellows

The JusticeMakers Team is incredibly proud of the diversity and passion that the new 2012 Fellows bring to the JusticeMakers Community. These Fellows come from ten countries, spanning four continents. Therefore, each Fellow faces a different yet equally challenging problem with his/her own unique solution. Every country situation is different and requires a different solution. This is why these local, grassroots JusticeMakers who understand their country situations from a lifetime of experience are so vital to International Bridges to Justice's mission to deliver justice to average people all over the world. They are the ground soldiers of IBJ's mission who are able to analyze the local situation and devise and implement projects that make sense in local conditions. Read more
