About CJAF
Criminal Justice Advocates Foundation (CJAF) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting access to justice, restorative research, and building effective, accountable and inclusive institutions in the criminal justice system in Nigeria.
We believe that everyone deserves to be treated fairly and with respect, regardless of their background or the charges against them, and prioritise healing and rebuilding relationships between the victim, the offender, and the community rather than simply punishing offenders.
Our work includes research and advocacy on a variety of issues, including:
Lengthy Pre-trial incarceration
Mass incarceration
Slow criminal trials and appeals
Police brutality
Disparities in the Criminal Justice System
Prison conditions
We believe that everyone has a role to play in creating a more just and fair criminal justice system. With your help, we can make a difference.
