Social Justice Aotearoa will advocate for all of New Zealand

We cant do this alone

When someone you love is in any kind of trouble, police, court, even Oranga Tamariki, we know the pressure on the family can be immense. On top of the stress and emotions that come with that news, learning what to do or how to go about things can be extremely challenging.

This is why we started Social Justice Aotearoa.

Having a history of working with all kinds of people from different backgrounds, experience communicating with lawyers and media plus a journey through the system of our own, we knew that we had to put what we know and what we’ve learnt to good use. We also knew we had to challenge parts of the system that in our opinion, didn’t work for the greater good of New Zealanders.

Social Justice Aotearoa aims to change the system as we know it now. A system that is broken and in desperate need of repair.

Our website also connects you with other organisations that may be able to help should you or your loved one need further assistance via our Advocacy page.

We can’t do this alone, we need to unite as a country so Aotearoa is a country that everyone would want to live, a democratic society to be proud of.

Feel free to get in touch. We’d love to hear from you.

Much love,

Jackie and the SJA team
