Hi, I am Ubaid Sidique. I am from India and I am a research scholar working on Environmental Justice. I came to know about Namati while searching for organisations working in this field. Joining Namati will not only help me in my research endeavour but would also connect me with my peers working for environment, justice and sustainability. Hoping for active participation here.

I am working on labour relation issues concerning security officers in our country Namibia are subjected to extreme degradation and non-payment of their monthly remunerations. I am trying to represent some of them in labour related labour court hearing cases/arbitrations. As a paralegal, I work with lack of basic office equipments such as photocopy papers, printers, computers and other necessary tools. I am also involved in community courts whereby I assist community members to state their cases in much more professional way.

Thanks @thekwane, and welcome! Your work as a community paralegal sounds familiar, as does the labor rights work, which reminds me of Platform for Labour Action in Uganda. Not only are there lots of community paralegals in our network, but many members in Zambia too.
