I am in charge of communications in Coordination Centre for Legal Aid Provision and have over 3 years of experience in the field of provision of the legal aid in Ukraine. At first legal aid services in Ukraine were provided to detainees, suspected and accused (in 2013). Since then, over the past 4 years, we have extended our services to other vulnerable groups of people, and now focus on legal empowerment of communities, access to legal information and legal advice. Today the provision of the legal aid in my country is performed through the wide network of more than 500 local legal aid centres and their partners on local level - NGOs and local governments. Thus, our mutual work is closely intertwined with communities legal empowerment. By joining this network I want to explore more about global legal empowerment movement, and what we can learn from the international community about how to promote it effectively in Ukraine.
