Defend Burundian Women & Children from Legal Abuse

Getting Clients their Day in Court

Getting Clients their Day in Court
With a backlog of cases to process, courtrooms are a chaotic, emotional places. Many clients wait years before they are able to respond to the charges against them.

Legal Aid in Burundi

Legal Aid in Burundi
With only 92 practicing lawyers in a country of 7 million people, the demand for legal aid services is overwhelming.

Working with Police

Working with Police
IBJ is working to promote rule of law from all angles. Aside from providing defense counsel to vulnerable populations, we collaborate with police to implement protections for ordinary people facing prosecution.

Indefinite Detention

Indefinite Detention
Burundian prisons are overcrowded, disease-ridden, and dangerous places. This is especially true for women and children, who - detained alongside men - are often the victims of rape and battery.
