The United Nations Joint Human Rights Office remained occupied with building the capacity of seven NGOs running legal clinics to improve victims’ access to justice.

These clinics provide free legal assistance to victims of sexual violence and accompany them through the judicial process, starting with the filing of complaints. 27. Over the reporting period, at least 400 victims of sexual violence received assistance from the legal clinics, which resulted in 103 sentences being pronounced against the perpetrators.
