The Jerusalem Institute of Justice (JIJ) (Hebrew: מכון ירושלים לצדק) is a nonprofit human rights organization operating in Israel. JIJ advocates human rights and civil justice, advocates in the Courts of Israel, the Israeli Knesset, international governments, academia and mainstream media forums in Israel and across the globe. The institute assists weakened populations, such as Holocaust survivors, women, men and children that are trapped in the sex industry, IDF soldiers with no homes or families, and religious and ethnic minority groups.[1] The Institute was founded in 2004 and since then has handled over 1000 cases dealing with religious freedom in Israel.
