Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>A four-day workshop on the theme \u2018Women Legal Literacy- a Tool for Women\u2019s Empowerment\u201d is being organised by the National Women’s Council (NWC) at Paillotte Women’s Empowerment Centre.<\/p>\n

The aim is to raise awareness on women\u2019s legal empowerment about basic legal rights and remedies provided under various laws, to make women fit to face challenges in real-life situations.<\/p>\n

The resource person during the four days is the Legal and Gender Trainer, Mrs Mokshada Pertaub. It is recalled that the NWC conducted a Participatory Needs Assessment, and it was highlighted that many women are not aware of their rights due to a lack of awareness on legal issues.<\/p>\n

Moreover, marginalised women and girls are unable to take recourse to legal advice due to financial constraints. In this context, the NWC came up with a programme to sensitise women on their legal rights.<\/p>\n

It is targeting a batch of 100 women in the nine Districts across the island over the year. The programme kick-started in Flacq followed by a second batch in Rivie\u0300re du Rempart and is now being implemented in Plaine Wilhems.<\/p>\n

During the four days training, participants will be apprised of the various machineries and organs of the Justice delivery system available to redress women’s problems and grievances; procedure of approaching and utilising various channels available to redress their grievances, that is, the Police, the Executive and the Judiciary; and the role of Courts in achieving gender equality, most importantly the concept of public interest litigation.<\/p>\n
