Mission & Goals
Legal Action Worldwide is an independent non-profit association comprised of creative human rights lawyers and jurists, unified in our belief that those who have experienced grave human rights violations, should receive targeted, survivor-centred, gender-competent and trauma-informed support to access the justice they deserve. LAW’s team works on the ground in conflict contexts combining national and international expertise with a deep understanding of victim and survivor needs and wishes. This approach provides a unique opportunity to address violence experienced; to bring national, regional and international attention to the situation and to break the cycle of impunity and recurrence. LAW places survivors at the centre of the drive for justice and empowers them in transform from victim, to survivor to advocate. We work directly with survivors and their communities, building their capacity to meaningfully engage with justice and advocacy processes.
