Legal aid and awareness campaigns

Single women often forgo their share in property and are unwilling to move
court in the case of divorce and maintenance claims. While on one hand
this is rooted in socio-cultural propriety that discourages them from

asserting their rights; on the other hand, it stems from very low levels of
awareness of formal court/government procedures for accessing
justice/entitlements. SIWONET is provides legal aid to single mothers and
conducts informational and awareness campaigns on laws, legal remedies
and court procedures. SIWONET collaborates other women’s organizations
and with national and state legal aid service providers in training
paralegals for social justice. We work with local governments to legal aid
camps and hold awareness campaigns on the rights of single women and
discrimination against single women.
