The Women's Legal Aid Centre (WLAC) has eighteen years of experience providing counselling and legal advice to women and children across Tanzania, as well as lobbying and campaigning for legislative and policy reforms in favour of women and children.
One World Action supports WLAC in its Access to Justice for Refugee Women and Girls project, which helps refugee women and girls gain access to legal assistance in Tanzania. It also strengthens WLAC’s capacity to address increasing sexual and gender-based violence and other human rights abuses of refugees in Tanzania and will lobby for legal reform to protect them.

The Southern Africa Legal Assistance Network (SALAN) was formed in 1994 to promote and protect human rights in Southern African countries. It currently has 11 members working in area of human rights, legal advice and legal assistance.
In 2008 as a result of the Positive Rights programme, SALAN will collaborate with the Women’s Legal Aid Centre in Tanzania in the area of information-sharing and support on refugee rights, particularly those of women and girls.
