The Innovation

To set up her project, Hend will collaborate with the Tunisian Association of Young Lawyers and the Bar Association to recruit female lawyers. She will also reach out to associations that aim to provide legal aid but cannot afford lawyers, as well as governmental organizations and ministries, including the Ministry of Women, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Family. The goal is to develop a case referral network for pro bono legal representation. This network will be presented to the judiciary with the objective of signing a convention, ensuring that the network is informed as soon as a woman needs legal aid.
