Administrative Measures 3.1 Government recognises that an important aspect of access to justice is having the physical infrastructure in place. To this end, the Judicial Service Commission, with support from international cooperating partners undertook an extensive programme of construction of court rooms in areas that previously did not have such infrastructure. These courts are at the level of the Magistrates Courts and this is in recognition of the fact that most people access justice at the level of the Magistrates’ Court. 3.2 Government has established the Legal Aid Directorate which is mandated with the provision of legal aid to the indigent. The Commission is referred to information provided under Article 3 of the Report on the African Charter for information relating to legal aid services for the indigent. 3.3 Government is also working with civil society actors in facilitating the provision of legal services through a system of referrals. Legal Literacy Programmes 3.4 Government carries out community based awareness campaigns on Gender Based Violence (GBV) that focus on raising awareness on the domestic violence, popularising the Domestic Violence Act, building community activism against domestic violence, strengthening the capacity of the community to establish mechanisms for preventing and responding to domestic violence. 3.5 Sensitisation campaigns are conducted for traditional leaders to take the lead role in discussing transformative masculinity, addressing rigid gender and social norms and the negative effects of patriarchy.
