About the Journal

     

The International Journal on Human Rights and Gender Justice Studies (IJHRGJS) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to advancing scholarship and informed debate on critical issues at the intersection of human rights and gender justice. Our mission is to provide a rigorous, inclusive platform for researchers, practitioners, and advocates to share original research, critical analyses, and innovative approaches that promote equality, non-discrimination, and social transformation globally. We recognize that true gender justice and human rights require both legal reforms and the dismantling of harmful social norms, institutional discrimination, and structural barriers. IJHRGJS is committed to publishing research that not only addresses legal frameworks but also explores the lived realities and transformative practices that support equal rights, access, and representation for all.
