This model not only addresses immediate legal needs but also provides long-term solutions that empower marginalized individuals and communities. In this blog, we will explore how Microjustice's tools foresee and structurally align with the three sub-goals of SDG 16.   Overview of SDG 16 and Its Sub-Goals   SDG 16 focuses on building societies grounded
