The Humanitarian Centre is delighted to invite you to our ‘Justice within Reach – How the Law can Empower’ webinar which will take place on the World Day of Social Justice. This online event, focusing on the right to justice, brings together leading legal professionals who have worked across South Africa, The Gambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo to share their experiences of how the law and increased legal awareness can empower individuals to understand and claim their rights.

The event will last only an hour and focus around four keynote speakers. Each speaker will focus 10 minutes on her/his area of experience of how the law can be used to empower individuals. At the end there will be 20 minutes time for discussion and a Q&A session.
