Purpose
The ''Justice and Fight against Impunity in Haiti (JISTIS)'' project, implemented by LWBC, is centered in an approach called ''empowerment through law'' for the most vulnerable people, in particular women, displaced and rural populations, and victims of gender-based violence (GBV). An empowerment through law approach enables people to acquire a better knowledge of their rights and of justice mechanisms and helps build the capacities of those providing legal aid and judicial assistance services. In addition, advocacy and strategic litigation actions are carried out to create jurisprudential precedents as a lever for transformative change in Haiti's legal framework and the country's fight against impunity.
