Historical Background

Action for Justice in Society (AJISO) is a legal aid  provision organization that was established in 1998 with the aim of promoting women and children rights and access to justice in the society. It empowers women and children through access to justice, organizing public awareness raising meetings about human rights, legal education and Gender based violence (GBV).

AJISO also trains paralegals, the ward protection com- mittees and child rights clubs so as to eliminate all forms of violence in the society.
