Скачать или смотреть Mobile Courts

Ijaabo struggled in a bad marriage for years. She sought an equitable divorce. As a last resort, she went to mobile court for justice. For Somalis living in remote places, getting access to justice is a challenge since many districts still don’t have functioning courthouses.

This is why the European Union funds mobile courts where traveling judges adjudicate cases often involving marriage disputes and gender-based violence. In mobile courts, cases involving women are a priority, comprising almost 50% of the cases heard before these courts.

Mobile courts are temporary solution until all districts in Somalia have functioning courthouses, but without them, many women living in remote places would not get the justice they deserve.
