Leadership Movement building Political participation
About JASS

JASS is a feminist movement support organisation that strengthens the voice, visibility, leadership and collective organising power of women for a just and sustainable world for all. We equip and strengthen the leadership and organising capacity of women leaders and their organisations in Mesoamerica, Southeast Asia, and Southern Africa. 

Our feminist movement building work supports marginalised women leaders (indigenous and rural land defenders, sex workers, garment workers, LBTQI+, HIV+, and young activists) in critically unpacking the power dynamics affecting their lives from the personal to the public, from the local to the global, as to change the systems, structures and beliefs that perpetuate inequity, injustice, and violence. Our approach enables the conditions for women to organise, mobilise and transform power in four areas of their lives: Bodies, Voice, Resources, and Safety.


Our commitment to transforming power in the world starts with how we organise and operate internally. Diversity, equity and inclusion are at the heart of who we are and how we were founded. We have an intersectional staff and shared leadership structure that represents diverse geographies, cultures, faiths, generations, races, abilities, sexual orientations, gender identities, and includes activists grounded in country-level organising and movements. We strive for internal structures, policies, and practices that value the range of knowledge held in this diversity and that reflect shared principles and accountability to our mission.
