You may have found yourself at some point in your life in a situation where, for various reasons, you needed legal assistance but were unable to afford a lawyer. Perhaps you later learned that your city has an Institute for Free Legal Aid, where you can receive free legal counselling or more concrete legal support. And indeed, such institutions do exist in our country—everywhere except the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton and the Central Bosnia Canton—until recently. However, an important and significant step has now been taken, thanks to the representatives of the Association for Education and Development Dignitet and the Nansen Dialogue Center (NDC) Mostar. With the support of PRAGG, they launched the campaign “The Right to Legal Aid – Mostar”, with the goal of encouraging the competent institutions to finally unblock this process and enable the already established, but non-operational, Institute to begin working. And they succeeded! After more than a decade, everyone in the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton who previously had nowhere to turn for free legal aid has finally gained access to a right guaranteed by law. This is just one example of how local initiatives, launched by citizens themselves, can contribute to positive change and demonstrate that anything is possible when people come together and act jointly. The PRAGG project is funded by the Government of Switzerland and implemented by the HELVETAS and NIRAS consortium in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in partnership with local partners—the Centres for Civic Initiatives (CCI) and the Institute for Youth Development KULT. 👥 PRAGG unites 🗣 PRAGG advocates ⚖ PRAGG brings change ✔ PRAGG delivers results
