African-Led Justice & Accountability

Justice Led by Survivors. Powered by Communities. Built on Evidence.

Why OJAH Exists

When violations go undocumented, evidence disappears and survivors are denied a path to justice. OJAH exists to ensure that this does not happen.

Through trusted documentation, evidence preservation, survivor engagement and strategic advocacy, we help transform credible information into opportunities for accountability. Our work is rooted in the belief that those most affected by conflict should be at the center of efforts to advance justice, restore dignity, and prevent future abuses.
