The Gambia: Bringing justice closer to women and rural communities
In The Gambia, UNDP is supporting efforts to strengthen access to justice for women and vulnerable communities. Through mobile legal aid clinics, community paralegals, insider mediators and stronger gender based violence referral pathways, justice services are reaching communities that previously had limited access to legal support.
This integrated approach brings together legal actors, community mediators and protection services to help women resolve disputes, seek protection and claim their rights.
As we mark International Women’s Day, the message is clear: investing in accessible and trusted justice systems is essential to advancing equality and protecting the rights of women.
