Legal Empowerment Guidelines: Capacity Building Of Village Communities By Learning, Using and Socializing The Law To Realize Access To Justice.

IJRS, in collaboration with Yayasan PEKKA, has conducted legal empowerment activities in Jangkar Village, Tanah Merah District, Bangkalan Regency, Madura Island. As a guide for the implementation of these legal empowerment activities, IJRS and Yayasan PEKKA have developed this Legal Empowerment Guidebook along with a curriculum, which contains relevant empowerment materials.

Based on the results of a legal needs assessment, three main topics have been identified for discussion in the legal empowerment activities, which are:  

1. Basic citizens’ rights, legal issues, and legal aid
2. Gender, violence against women including sexual violence and domestic violence (DV); 
3. Child marriage and its connection to sexual and reproductive health.

The publication of this Legal Empowerment Guidebook is intended to serve as a guide and/or reference material for future legal empowerment activities, providing a better understanding of the legal issues relevant to the community and strengthening legal awareness within these communities.
