To influence policies within local and national governments so as to ensure that women and girls who experience violence are able to access justice
National advocacy for law reform and implementation |

Local advocacy through the Justice Law and Order Sector (JLOS) |
CEDOVIP work aims to influence the civil and criminal justice system to effectively respond to and ensure victim safety and perpetrator accountability through systems coordination, by reinforcing that duty bearers play an important role in ensuring full implementation of the Domestic Violence Act(DVA) at the local level. CEDOVIP provides knowledge and skills on new laws like the DVA, so that survivors of VAW/G can access justice. We target judicial officers, judges, magistrates, prosecutors from the Director of Public Prosecution and court clerks, including those from the local courts, the Judicial Service Commission, and the Judicial Studies Institute |
