Somali Journalists Syndicate (SJS) is an independent journalists’ trade union that speaks for the journalists’ human rights. SJS was established in May 2019 by professional Somali journalists to defend the rights of the working journalists and promote press freedom.

Somali Journalists Syndicate (SJS) defends press freedom, advocates for journalists’ safety and provides legal aid to journalists whose journalism work results in court cases and in need of legal defense through professional lawyers. SJS’s goal is to create a platform for the journalists to interact and communicate and build professional needs by means of networking and provide daily updates.

SJS monitors and documents violations against the media and the journalists across Somalia including Somaliland. We aim to address the growing needs of the media professionals by building their capacity through trainings, seminars or workshops, with the aim to strengthen the skills and the capacity of the journalists to produce a quality journalism.

SJS is a member of the Congress of African Journalists (CAJ), the global Alliance of Civil Society organisations (CIVICUS) and the Global civil society coalition to promote the implementation and monitoring of the UN Convention against Corruption (UNCAC)
