Group empowers 102 female inmates

As an organisation that works at the intersection of human rights and criminal justice reforms, with its major program area providing access to justice to indigent pre-trial detainees, Adeoye further remarked that within five impact years, it has dedicated major aspects of its work to providing free legal services to destitute pre-trial detainees, engaging in welfare, empowerment, reformation, and reintegration interventions.

With its scope cutting across the Federal Capital Territory, Kano, and Edo states. Currently, a network of lawyers in Kaduna, Niger, and Nassarawa States, the Director pointed out that “we donated palliatives, groceries, and hygiene products, among other things, to both inmates and officers under our welfare interventions. During COVID-19, we also donated palliatives to inmates in Keffi and Oko custodial centres.

While presenting its strategic direction for 2023, she elucidated that her organisation will shift attention to access to justice, support for people behind bars, and criminal justice development. She added “The Access to Justice program will focus on free legal service delivery for indigent pretrial detainees. The support for the people behind the Bars program will focus on every other intervention for incarcerated individuals outside of legal aid. The last is Criminal Justice Development, this program area interfaces with relevant justice stakeholders towards reforming the system.

She maintained that the organisation intends to achieve its objectives through leveraging technology, Policy Engagement and Advocacy, Campaigns, Capacity building training, and provision of direct services to those who need them.All rights reserved.
