ASF carries out a diverse array of activities to ensure access to justice for the most vulnerable and to establish legal systems that are capable of protecting them.

Our added value: to design and implement mechanisms of legal aid for vulnerable people in fragile contexts, in a pioneering and innovative fashion. ASF dares to take on cases that appear too sensitive to touch (genocide in Rwanda, international crimes in Democratic Republic of Congo) and initiates projects that seem excessively daring at first glance (mobile courts in DR Congo).

We also place the role of the lawyer at the heart of our work, as an indispensable element of access to justice, of the right to a fair trial, and of realising change through the law.
