This project aims to strengthen women's access to justice through awareness raising, legal assistance, and capacity building of community actors. Provide women with access to justice despite their very limited economic means, which they suffer from in conflict-affected areas in Eastern DR Congo.
The project will contribute to improving women's access to fair justice in conflict-affected areas of Eastern DR Congo. It will strengthen their knowledge of their rights, reduce economic barriers limiting their access to justice services, and increase their participation in justice and governance mechanisms. The project will also help reduce violence, discrimination, and impunity while promoting sustainable peace, gender equality, and community development.
