About us

We are an association that works to contribute to the application of people’s rights from the point of view of the Gospel. We do this through public awareness and political advocacy to create public sensibility, through educational activities, publications, lectures and conferences, interventions in the media, etc.

Today, in Justicia i Pau of Barcelona we have the support of about 450 people and about a hundred volunteers who are organised in thematic or territorial areas. These volunteers carry out most of our activities.

We act in coordination with the different Justicia i Pau commissions in Catalonia, as well as with the General Commission of Justicia I Pau of Spain. Also, with the council of Justicia i Pau in Europe.
