Conventional wisdom says: if banks close, people move to mobile money. Our field survey in Eastern DRC suggests a different reality. High fees and commissions are pushing many women cross-border traders away from digital payments. Financial access ≠ financial inclusion.

From legal advice to courtroom advocacy—our work delivers results. In April, our reach was meaningful: 🔹 755 people received free legal aid 🔹 48 clients supported in court 🔹 374 assisted through IECMS With 67% of cases received via mobile clinics, justice is going where it’s needed most. Thank you to our donors for strengthening this momentum over the past 3 months.

Most people who need legal aid in Rwanda don’t live near a lawyer. They live in villages. In the first 2 months of 2026, we brought legal aid directly to communities: ⚖️ 936 people received free legal support 🏡 93% came from rural areas Because justice should not require a long journey. Behind every case is a family, a dispute resolved, or a right protected. 📊 See the full impact in our Jan–Feb factsheet ↓ #AccessToJustice #Rwanda #LegalAid @GermanyinRwanda @HumanRightsRW @Rwanda_Justice

📍 Touring Gisagara District, one sector at a time! This week, we are on the ground with sector & cell executives, good governance officers, and SEDOs to strengthen grassroots justice. Our focus? Practical ADR skills and demystifying the family law to reduce case backlogs. With support from @NLinRwanda and in close partnership with @GisagaraDistr, we are empowering 144 local leaders to become ADR pioneers in their communities. Stronger skills. Faster resolutions. Fewer backlogs. #AccessToJustice #Gisagara #RuleOfLaw #Rwanda #HakiLinkProject

Ending GBV is not a campaign — it is a commitment. In November alone, our teams assisted 49 SGBV survivors most of them (80%) coming from through mobile clinics and toll-free services. We will keep bringing justice closer to rural communities where vulnerability is highest. The campaign ends, but the work continues. #16DaysOfActivism2025 @UNFPARwanda @unwomenrwanda @EUinRW @NLinRwanda @RwandaGender @Rwanda_Justice
