"The Origins of Our Logo: Responding to Curiosity"
Our logo encapsulates the essence of AWJAI’s inspiration. it takes the form of a lotus flower adorned with purple and black hues, symbolizing a blend of virtues that drive our mission in aiding victims of injustice.
The lotus, a resilient emblem, embodies unyielding determination. Its significance lies not only in weathering turbulent storms with grace but also in its journey from the murky depths, emerging pristine and untainted. Rooted in muck, yet blossoming in purity, it signifies the resilience to thrive despite adverse surroundings, embodying the triumph over life’s trials.
The purple tones within our emblem represent justice, inherent dignity of individuals, and unwavering commitment to our cause. Meanwhile, the presence of black signifies the law, authority, resilience, and further underscores the dignity of every person we strive to support.
