10 years ago, Namati and the Network started with a vision. A vision of a global movement of people who advance social and environmental justice by knowing, using, and shaping the law. We’ve seen that vision become a reality over the past 10 years.

In six countries where Namati teams live and work, paralegals and communities achieved concrete remedies to thousands of social and environmental injustices, directly improving the lives and wellbeing of nearly 1.5 million people. Building on this grassroots experience, movements in each of those countries have envisioned, demanded, and won dozens of systemic changes, expanding protections for entire states and countries.

The Network has grown from 30 people in one room to 12,000 members – now the world’s largest community of grassroots justice defenders, spanning 170 countries. By learning from each other and building power across our borders, we are working to bring justice everywhere.

Below are some of the systemic wins that Namati and our partners have achieved over the past decade. 2022 was a big year for our movement – over 15 million people were positively affected by significant improvements to laws and systems.
