Her Voice Liberia is a non-profit organisation dedicated to ensuring access to justice for marginalised and vulnerable women and children. The organisation has more than seven years of work in human rights law and access to justice for women and children. HVL operates the only Legal Aid Mobile Clinic in Liberia, that has been providing free legal services in hard to reach communities in rural Liberia, to vulnerable women and children as part of the efforts to increase access to justice for girls as well combat Sexual Gender Based Violence (SGBV).
HVL operates and has a strong presence in more than seven counties in Liberia: Rivercess, Bong, Montserrado, Bomi, Margibi, Grand Gedeh, Grand Kru, Maryland, Sinoe, River gee and Grand Cape Mount counties. Her Voice already has strong working relationships with most women rights local and international organisations and has collaborated with them on interventions on access to justice. In addition, Her Voice Liberia has been consistent in its interventions where we believe that a comprehensive approach to justice and the rule of law will increase access to justice and the fulfilment of sustainable peace.
