[1] Headquartered in New York City and led by Akila Radhakrishnan, the GJC is a member of the United Nations NGO Working Group on Women, Peace and Security.

They argue that states have “positive obligations to provide non-discriminatory medical care under the Geneva Conventions,”[7] which, according to their interpretation, “entitles all victims of armed conflict — including those brutalized by rape — to complete and non-discriminatory medical treatment.”[8] The Global Justice Center continues to challenge US abortion funding restrictions, including the Helms Amendment and Global Gag Rule as violations of international law.

[12] The Global Justice Center believes that sexual and gender-based violence is, at its core, an expression of "discrimination, patriarchy, and inequality."

Therefore, its work to prevent sexual and gender-based violence seeks to address and transform these root causes and the patriarchal legal systems that enable it.

GJC works to pressure international groups and institutions to use a gender lens when enforcing the Genocide Convention, arguing that current enforcement fails to adequately account for the differential experiences of women in conflict and the gender-based genocidal tactics often used in contemporary warfare, such as sexual slavery.
