Microjustice focuses on justice at a personal (micro) level, starting with the individual and their vulnerabilities. It ensures people have legal rights protection and access to the services, benefits, and utilities of the society in which they live. Through legal empowerment, Microjustice transforms vulnerable individuals into active citizens, enabling them to exercise their rights and protect their livelihoods.

Since 1996, Microjustice’s mission has been to promote Universal Access to Legal Rights Protection and affordable legal aid, aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 16: “Leaving No One Behind.” Many people cannot access justice due to systemic barriers, marginalizing them from society. Microjustice addresses this by developing sustainable systems of standardized legal assistance to meet the basic legal needs of marginalized communities, empowering them to enjoy the same rights and opportunities as others.

To achieve its goals, Microjustice focuses on non-litigious private and administrative legal matters, offering practical solutions such as:

• Correcting legal documents (birth and death certificates, ID cards, contracts).
• Facilitating business registration and property transfers.
• Assisting with land registration and access to entitlements like education, healthcare, pensions, and voting rights.

This work is especially crucial in the aftermath of humanitarian crises, where victims need to secure aid, protect lost or damaged belongings, and rebuild their lives.

Microjustice works on two interconnected objectives to achieve its mission:

1. Empowering Individuals (SDG 16.2):
   • Providing access to affordable, high-quality legal aid through the Digital Legal Aid Platform, which strengthens:
     • Knowledge of rights, obligations, and legal processes.
     • Accessibility and affordability of legal aid.
     • Efficient systems to distribute legal services nationwide.
2. Strengthening State Systems (SDG 16.3):
   Through the Legal Rights Protection Barometer, Microjustice supports governments in:
   • Improving the organization of legal professions to ensure affordable legal aid.
   • Developing systems for universal access to legal aid, including free or low-cost services.
   • Enhancing accessibility, transparency, and effectiveness of legal and institutional frameworks.

By addressing these objectives, Microjustice promotes inclusive societies, effective institutions, and access to justice for all.
