Did you know?

That under Zambian Law the term “sexual abuse” includes the engagement of another person in sexual contact, whether married or not, which includes sexual conduct that abuses, humiliates or degrades the other person or otherwise violates another person’s sexual integrity, or sexual contact by a person aware of being infected with HIV or any other sexually transmitted infection with another person without that other person being given prior information of the infection.

Commonwealth Day is a reminder that the Commonwealth is more than a network of nations, it is a driver towards the common good.

Being part of this great community as a Commonwealth-accredited organization,reminds us that a better, fairer world is possible. One where justice is seen to be done.

Our work at BarefootLaw ensures that people understand their rights and find justice, no matter who or where they are.

As we celebrate and make merry, we also recommit to building peaceful communities where people can thrive.

We are honored to have participated in the Justice Innovation Challenge - Zambia, hosted by @barefootlaw_org in partnership with the @southern_policy and supported by the @MottFoundation.

The challenge aimed to recognize and support grassroots innovators working to improve access to justice in Zambia. It provided a platform for initiatives that bridge the gap between legal systems and the communities they serve.

As Project Legal, we are proud to have been selected as one of the three winners of this challenge, an achievement that reinforces our commitment to making legal information accessible to all.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who voted for and supported Project Legal throughout this journey. Your belief in our mission continues to inspire us!
