JASS’ work is shaped by an analysis of power and how its abuses drive inequality, violence, exploitation, and exclusion in women’s lives across relationships, institutions, and belief systems. Today, JASS operates in 22 countries across Mesoamerica, Southeast Asia, and Southern Africa. We have trained more than 3,000 activists, built eight national or regional networks, and established hubs in nine countries.
