RBJ - Rwanda Bridges to Justice

RBJ is a local nongovernmental organisation dedicated to protecting the basic rights of individuals in Rwanda, and member of International Bridges to Justice organisation.

Specifically, RBJ strives to ensure all citizens the right to competent legal representation and the right to a fair trial.

IBJ began to work in Rwanda in 2010 and established Rwanda Bridges to Justice (RBJ) as a local autonomous chapter in 2014. A Defender Resource Center was opened in Kigali and acts as the hub for our activities, which include building a supportive community of legal professionals, conducting training for defense lawyers and judges, providing pro bono legal representation to the most vulnerable, including women, children, and the poor, and organizing roundtables and rights awareness campaigns to galvanize support for comprehensive legal reform.
