Two pro bono law firms based in Malé have created a ‘mobile legal clinic’ to offer free legal advice to people living outside the capital.
The Public Interest Legal Clinic and the Family Legal Clinic is partnering with the ministry of youth, sports and community empowerment to launch the programme.
The mobile clinic kicks off during the weekend on Hithadhoo island in Addu City, according to a press release. The aim is to raise public awareness and offer free legal counsel to marginalised groups, it said.
Lawyers will be conducting awareness sessions on domestic violence and the Maldivian legal system at the Sharafudheen School on Friday.
