Just Launched at the World Justice Forum! The Justice for All report from the Task Force on Justice makes the case for shifting from a model that provides justice for the few, to one that delivers justice for all. The launch of the report on Monday kicked off the World Justice Forum by defining the opportunity for the justice movement in 2019. With a new global estimate of the justice gap informed by the World Justice Project's Measuring the Justice Gap report, the Justice for All report makes the case for investment in justice and identification of strategies, tools and approaches to increase access to justice.

We invite you to learn more about the new global estimate of the justice gap in The Guardian and The Independent, watch the report launch, and download the Justice for All and Measuring the Justice Gap reports below.
