Our campaigns
Our campaigns are divided across two programmes, the Safety and Justice Programme and the Local Government Programme.
The Safety and Justice Programme campaigns for improved policing and an improved criminal justice system, while the Local Government Programme leads our work on informal settlement services and infrastructure.
SJC10
Our SJC10 case successfully challenged the criminalisation of peaceful protest without notice for over 15 people. The Constitutional Court ruled s12(1)(a) of the Gatherings Act unconstitutional in November 2018.
Effective Public Lighting
The formal & informal areas of Khayelitsha are lit almost entirely by high-mast lights, which were used by the apartheid government to police townships. Our campaign aims to improve public lighting to improve safety in informal settlements.
Budget Justice
We analyse the City’s budget and work with communities in our campaign for a budget that focuses on people living in informal residents where there is the greatest and most severe need.
