The Lifelong Learning for Community Legal Volunteers Project has brought about powerful changes in the West Nile region of Uganda. Funded through @CrossroadsIntl via the Gender Equality Innovation Fund, Government of Canada, and implemented by FIDA-Uganda, this project shows what can be accomplished through strong global partnerships.

As the project comes to a close, it leaves behind a strong, community-based foundation for sustained access to justice, led by empowered women.

Women and girls with disabilities in Uganda are often marginalized, stigmatized, and discriminated against. To address the needs of women with disabilities in Arua City and Arua District in the West Nile region of Uganda, FIDA-Uganda trained 20 women with disabilities to become Community Legal Volunteers.

These women now understand the law and can provide legal aid services. Together, they are challenging harmful attitudes to improve perceptions, increasing access to justice, and participating in local leadership.

Told through the voices of the women whose lives it has transformed, this engaging video illustrates the powerful changes experienced in these communities. Watch here 🔗: https://t.co/ZNQoRBxdW1

One of the key community justice approaches for FIDA-Uganda has been the Community Legal Volunteer (CLV) model. Through this model, we are empowering community members with knowledge and skills to take initiative and become champions of change within their communities.

📌 Meet Ms. Amavuru Stella, a CLV from Terego District, who is also a Person with Disability (PWD). She was recently elected as the District Councillor representing Persons with Disabilities, and has also been newly admitted to the Terego District Coordination Committee (DCC).

Her journey deeply reflects the vision and impact of FIDA-Uganda. She demonstrates the growing achievements of the CLV model. How it nurtures grassroots leadership, bridges community and formal justice systems, and advances access to justice for women and marginalised groups.
