About usOur 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.

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.”
