JASS (Just Associates) is a non-profit organization that supports feminist movement-building by strengthening the leadership, organizing capacity, and networks of women across Mesoamerica, Southeast Asia, and Southern Africa. Its work centers on increasing the voice, visibility, and collective power of women to advance rights and reduce violence, through training activist leaders and linking them to grassroots organizing on issues such as sexuality, HIV, land rights, and protections for human rights defenders. The organization emphasizes broad alliances, media outreach, and documentation to inform analysis and practical guidance derived from action, while monitoring mobilization efforts to influence policies, institutions, and social norms. Based in Just Crossroads, North Carolina, JASS operates within the non-profit sector and pursues its mission through movement-building strategies aimed at sustaining women's political influence and safety amid growing challenges. A recent development noted is a partnership involving JASS-related initiatives to support women’s self-defense and empowerment programs. } }*Oops, format corrected to valid JSON* {
