People today rely on the justice system to safeguard their rights more than ever before. Despite this, over 5 billion individuals worldwide lack adequate access to justice, with 1.5 billion facing significant obstacles in addressing everyday legal concerns.
One of the primary obstacles is the difficulty in finding, reading, and understanding laws. This fundamental step often requires the assistance of lawyers, which poses a significant barrier, particularly for vulnerable groups. This reliance on legal professionals can make accessing justice prohibitively expensive and inaccessible for many.
