About us

Our story, vision & values

Built by and for the community, GWJI works where wellbeing, dignity and justice meet.

Our story

From a shared concern to organised action

Gender Wellness & Justice Initiative was established to create safer communities through mental health promotion, counselling support, gender justice, legal awareness and empowerment programs.

We began with a simple belief: no one should face violence, isolation or distress alone. Today we bring together counsellors, advocates, volunteers and community members to walk with people through their hardest moments — and to change the conditions that put them at risk in the first place.

Organised around dignity
Our vision
“A community where mental health thrives, individuals find support through counselling, Sexual and Gender-Based Violence is eradicated through awareness, and legal empowerment promotes justice.”
Our mission
“Dedicated to promoting mental health, offering counselling services, and combating Sexual and Gender-Based Violence through awareness, advocacy and legal education in our communities.”
