At Foundation for a Just Society, language justice is about more than translation.

Since early 2022, our South and Southeast Asia (SSEA) team has made language justice a cornerstone of our feminist funding practices. By providing interpretation in local and Indigenous languages, we are shifting power back to those who hold the wisdom and solutions needed for lasting change.

Today on the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples we invite you to honor linguistic diversity with us, ensuring activists can share their perspectives and hopes in the languages of their ancestors.
