From January to July 2026, we steadily expanded both our geographical reach and the number of people accessing our services. In just 7 months: 📢 66,000+ people reached ⚖️ 5,100 people received free legal aid 🏛️ 230 clients represented/assisted in courts 🤝 431 cases resolved through advocacy This expansion is demand-driven and has been possible because we do not work alone. With support from the @NLinRwanda , the Danish Institute for Human Rights, @giz_rwanda and The Stirling Foundation, and through close collaboration with local authorities and justice-sector institutions, we are reaching more people in more communities. Strong partnerships. Wider reach. Greater access to justice. #Partnerships #AccessToJustice #LegalAid #Rwanda @HuyeDistrict @RusiziDistrict @RubavuDistrict @NyanzaDistrict @NyabihuDistrict @Nyamagabe @NyaruguruDistr @GisagaraDistr @MAJNyarugenge @Nyarugenge

Glad to join the 5th African Business and Human Rights Forum in Dakar. Around 700 participants from 80+ countries are discussing how to advance responsible business in Africa. As a member of @AfricanACCA, iPeace is bringing perspectives from our work on Digital Transformation, Business and Human Rights. Responsible business must include a path to remedy when harm occurs. From our work, we know how much accessible information, safe complaint channels and practical legal support matter to affected communities. Access to justice belongs at the centre of the HRDD discussion. @HumanRightsRW @giz_rwanda @UNDP_Rwanda
