Access to Justice for All

UEHRF provides legal advice and representation at all levels of the justice system, in particular to those living in poverty or facing disadvantage or discrimination.

Mediation

UEHRF facilitates alternative dispute resolution (ADR) through mediation for family, land, financial, petty criminal, and labour matters. We have settled 62,263 disputes across the country. Resolving disputes through mediation allows individuals and families to quickly recover land, assets, maintenance, dower and/or arrears of wages. By providing mediation services, we have also contributed towards reducing the overwhelming number of cases pending before local courts.

Litigation

UEHRF provides advice and representation for individuals whose disputes cannot resolved through mediation, or who have been victims of criminal offences or human rights violations. A staggering number of UEHRF’s clients are women living in poverty. UEHRF has filed 12,743 cases, and the majority of resolved cases have been decided in favor of our clients. Our litigation services play a crucial role in ensuring access to the justice system for poor and vulnerable people.

Investigation

UEHRF has conducted over 175 investigations of human rights violations, including those impacting women and girls, religious or ethnic minorities, and children. Investigations and research studies have allowed UEHRF lawyers to support ongoing litigation by UEHRF and other organisations, and to underpin its advocacy initiatives to address gaps in laws and institutional responses.
