Sensitisation Workshops

Paralegals conducted participatory sensitisation workshops at community level to inform and educate the public about legal matters and human rights related issues. Sensitisation workshops were aimed both at women and men. They provided a forum for discussion and focused on specific legal topics such as domestic violence, property grabbing, child abuse and divorce.

Refresher Workshops

The general objectives of refresher workshops were to refresh the paralegals on human rights and legal related issues and to enable them to utilize this knowledge effectively at the community level. The aim was to ensure that paralegals are able to identify human rights violations, refer cases to relevant authorities and write clear reports and keep records. Refresher workshops are organized annually by Legal Office and they usually cover all the districts.
