Arise For Justice is a Ghanaian nonprofit organization established in 2022 and officially incorporated on May 6, 2024, dedicated to securing and upholding the human rights of all individuals in Ghana. Founded by a group of passionate Ghanaians dedicated to social justice, the organization has a particular focus on marginalized communities and minorities, including ethnic minorities, women, children, and the LGBTQ+ community.
