Uniya

Uniya Jesuit Social Justice Centre was a small, Sydney-based centre for social justice and human rights research, advocacy, education and networking. The centre operated from 1989 until May 2007.

It was established by Father Frank Brennan SJ AO, who was the Director of the Centre until 1993 and again from 1996 to 2000. The centre was funded primarily by the Australian Jesuits.

According to its website "Uniya seeks to focus attention and influence Government policy and public opinion on key justice and human rights issues in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. It draws guidance from the Gospel vision and the riches of Catholic Social Teaching. Uniya seeks to stand in solidarity with those on the margins of society."

During its heyday, Uniya focused much of its attention on the plight of refugees and asylum seekers, Indigenous reconciliation and Australia’s role in the Pacific and South East Asia.
