JEM (Justice and Empowerment of Minorities) is an autonomous body of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, established in 2021.

To uphold, protect, and enforce the human rights of minorities in India, striving to promote a just and equitable society.

To systematically collate, research, and document the increasing number of hate crimes occurring daily across India.

To make authorities aware of the changing social fabric and actively urge punitive action against divisive forces.

We submit detailed case information to Chief Ministers, local administrations, police officials, and the Union Home Minister

We provide essential medical, legal, financial, and psychological aid to victims of hate crimes.

We ensure global transparency by making our comprehensive reviews and findings available to an international audience.

JEM’s Hate Crime Documentation Impact

JEM is at the forefront of documenting hate crime incidents, providing crucial data that highlights the severity and prevalence of discrimination against minority communities.

4192

Hate Crime Cases Documented

Recorded from July 2021 to December 2025, these cases predominantly involve violence and discrimination.

Our systematic approach ensures each case is meticulously verified, cross-referenced, and detailed, building a robust evidence base for advocacy and legal action. This rigorous documentation process is essential for exposing patterns of hate and holding perpetrators accountable, driving real social change and promoting justice for marginalized groups.

Training & Capacity Building

State-Level Workshop: Combating Hate Crimes & Islamophobia

This workshop equips individuals to identify, document, and report hate crimes and Islamophobia, strengthening our collective response and ensuring accountability.

• Madrasa & University students
• Social workers & community advocates
• Lawyers & legal professionals
• Journalists
• Community leaders

Learning Methods:

The workshop uses engaging expert talks, interactive group sessions, role-playing, and collaborative planning for practical skill acquisition.

• Understanding hate crimes and Islamophobia
• Media literacy and counter-narrative skills
• JEM’s role in legal and advocacy work
• Hands-on documentation (evidence, reporting, data)

Workshop Follow-up:

• WhatsApp group for ongoing support & updates
• Resource sharing (legal guides, documentation tips)
• Reporting unreported hate crimes via JEM’s process
• JEM monitors reports for accuracy and feedback

• Building a Network of Trained Persons: Creating a systematic response network by training diverse stakeholders (students, lawyers, journalists, community leaders) to build a comprehensive early warning system.
• Filling Critical Knowledge Gaps: Many hate crimes go undocumented because people don’t recognize them or know proper reporting procedures. This transforms ordinary citizens into skilled documentarians.
• Strengthening Legal Cases: Proper documentation from ground level directly feeds into JEM’s legal escalation process, making legal interventions more effective.

• Multi-Modal Learning Approach: Expert talks, interactive group workshops, role-playing scenarios, collaborative planning sessions.
• Systematic Follow-Up Structure: WhatsApp groups for ongoing support, resource sharing with legal guides, direct reporting pipeline to JEM’s legal process, continuous monitoring with feedback loops.
• Strategic Impact: Each workshop creates a multiplier effect—one trained individual can identify multiple incidents while training others, exponentially increasing JEM’s reach.
