Achievements (2021–2024)
Over the past 3.7 years, the Law for All Initiative has activated a large network of nearly 200 Indian law and justice changemakers, 100 young changemakers, and many Ashoka Fellows.
We launched the Social Innovation Mapping project involving 200 Indian justicemakers to study the challenges and opportunities of the Indian law and justicemaker ecosystem.
We collaborated with three Ashoka Fellow organizations to create the Young Changemakers in Justice project, activating 100 young changemakers who built solutions to remove local justice barriers for their communities.
We elected seven and mobilized 15 Ashoka Fellows in justice, each with a continental impact, affecting millions and activating thousands more leaders.
By launching the Impact Study project, we mapped India's law and justice changemaking sector, identifying emerging themes, gaps, and opportunities. Those findings inspired us to collaborate with the Agami justice network and build the Impact Toolbox, a set of three tailor-made impact measurement catalyst tools.
We represented Ashoka in over seven international gatherings, including a keynote (SIGUL '23, Interspeech, Dublin, Ireland), a panel at RightsCon and another at MozFest, and numerous national conferences.
By collaborating with Fellows, we celebrated the 20-year journey of 1500 rural Indian information-access changemakers and India's constitutional recognition of privacy as a fundamental right. We witnessed how a community-level policy consultation influenced the amendment of environmental laws, ensuring nomadic and denotified tribes’s social justice. We also curated a first-of-its-kind exhibition to showcase art in justicemaking.
