To honour #Mandela’s centenary, The Elders celebrated grassroots activists working to improve access to #justice. One #SparkofHope is Women’s Justice Initiative who provide free legal services to indigenous women in rural Guatemala: walk-together.org/sparks-of-… #JusticeForAll
Last year @TheElders walked alongside grassroots #justice defenders to demand leaders support community-based approaches so the law works for everyone, everywhere. This is critical for the full implementation of #SDG 16 and providing #JusticeForAll by 2030.

It's been a year since this @TEDTalks by our CEO @VivekHMaru was published.
Over 1 million people have tuned in to hear how #legalempowerment is transforming law from an abstraction or threat into something that everyone can understand, use and shape. bit.ly/2GZc8wd
