About Justice Without Borders
JWB builds pathways to justice across borders with migrant workers. Working with the wider community, we do this through education, empowerment, and legal breakthroughs. Together, we bring justice home.

Founded in 2013, Justice Without Borders (JWB) is a regional non-profit providing legal assistance for migrant domestic workers after they have returned home. Focusing on those who have suffered labour exploitation and human trafficking, we address the difficulties migrant workers and lawyers face in bringing cross-border claims for injuries that occurred when they were working in Hong Kong and Singapore.  We work with a growing network of frontline NGOs, law firm partners, and government agencies.
