Source: Ministry of Justice DRC Only 20% of detainees have access to legal assistance, leaving the majority without proper legal representation Source: Lawyers Without Borders Because justice should never be a privilege. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, access to justice remains an unattainable dream for the majority. Most people are arrested without understanding their rights, held without trial, and forgotten behind bars, simply because they cannot afford a lawyer. Redefining justice as a tool for empowerment and social cohesion. By expanding access to legal aid, leveraging people-centered data, and advocating for restoration over punishment, we are transforming the way justice is delivered, measured, and understood. See who we are\u200b Placing people at the heart of justice Our approach is rooted in a deep commitment to those most affected by injustice, ensuring their voices shape the solutions we build. Legal empowerment We equip individuals and communities with the tools and support they need to claim their rights and protect their dignity. Social Justice We care for the human beings behind the cases and support them by providing compassionate care during detention and post-release rehabilitation services. Innovation &amp; Systemic Change We use data, technology, and research to expose injustices and advocate for systemic reform.
