In 2022, KM (name protected for her privacy) was arrested for unlawful possession. She was helping her aunty clean up her house when the police came and arrested her. Although her aunty testified to the police that she was not involved in the matter, she was taken to a correctional centre.
KM received legal advice and support from AdvocAid’s paralegals and social workers. Additionally, after the intervention of the organization, she was cautioned and released.
The women we work with often have complicated realities. AdvocAid considers that access to justice should grant them – particularly the poorest and most underprivileged – the ability to access impartial, effective, and accountable instruments to protect their rights, control abuse of power, and conflict resolution.
On behalf of the women and girls we work with, thank you for your continued support for AdvocAid. Each and every donor, nevertheless the size of their contribution, helps us provide women and girls with better opportunities to access justice.
