Prison walls do not stop legal problems from unfolding outside. They make it harder to respond. When someone is detained, public attention often centres on their criminal case. Yet they also leave behind families, marriages, property and businesses—and legal concerns that cannot simply wait for their release. Family disputes, property concerns and business obligations continue. With limited ability to communicate, obtain documents or seek advice, inmates can struggle to protect their interests and fulfil their responsibilities. These overlooked legal needs deserve attention too. To help address them, iPeace, in partnership with @RCSPRwanda (RCS), brought mobile legal aid services to Rubavu Correctional Facility, providing 32 inmates with free legal assistance on civil matters. Access to justice must extend beyond the criminal case. #AccessToJustice #LegalAid #HumanRights

How do we ensure that capacity building continues beyond a project? By investing in people who can pass their knowledge on. Together with @LegalPracticeRW, iPeace has trained 480 judges, prosecutors, lawyers and RIB officers on plea bargaining and victim–offender mediation. Among them, 27 were selected and have just completed a specialised training of trainers, helping their institutions develop internal resources for future capacity building. The initiative supports Rwanda’s Criminal Justice Policy through our Uhaki Bila Mipaka project, with support from the Kingdom of the Netherlands, in consortium with International Alert and Pole Institute. #SustainableImpact #AccessToJustice @RIB_Rw @ProsecutionRw @RwandaJudiciary @NLinRwanda @HumanRightsRW @Rwanda_Justice

🇷🇼🤝🇿🇲 Learning across borders to strengthen access to justice! iPeace and the Danish Institute for Human Rights (DIHR) organized an enriching Zambia–Rwanda exchange on legal aid and paralegals. It connected DIHR’s work in Zambia with iPeace’s experience providing free legal aid and raising awareness of rights in correctional facilities in Rwanda. A valuable opportunity to share practices, reflect on challenges, and learn how to better support people seeking justice. The exchange took place under Promoting Justice and Human Rights in Rwanda, funded by the Embassy of Denmark in Rwanda. #AccessToJustice #LegalAid #HumanRights

As we join the world in celebrating the International Day of Rural Women, we reflect on an important finding from our 2026 Access to Justice Survey: 33.7% of women responding to our mobility question were not fully independent in travelling to access justice services. Digitalisation of justice is an important step towards improving accessibility and efficiency. But what happens to rural women who lack smartphones, internet connectivity or the digital skills needed to navigate justice procedures? Digital justice must not become another barrier for those already facing exclusion. Through our mobile legal aid clinics, iPeace brings free legal assistance closer to rural communities, helping women understand their rights, navigate legal and digital procedures, and pursue justice at reduced cost. On this important day, we reaffirm our commitment to ensuring that no rural woman is left behind in accessing justice. #InternationalDayOfRuralWomen #AccessToJustice #LegalAid #iPeace
