Headfort Foundation's Lawyers Without Borders project is transforming the lives of countless individuals affected by human rights abuses in Nigeria. With the approval of the Chief Judge of State and collaboration with state judiciary, we have established mobile offices within court premises, enabling us to station pro bono human rights lawyers who tirelessly represent and defend victims of human rights abuse free of charge.

This project encompasses victims of all demographics, including children, women, and men, ensuring no one is left behind in the pursuit of justice. Since its inception in 2020, our project has expanded to six court premises across four states in Nigeria, making our services accessible to a larger population in need. The urgent need for our intervention is driven by the alarming rate at which Nigeria's prisons are burdened by a staggering 75% of awaiting trial inmates who are unable to afford legal representation.

Through our efforts, we have successfully helped over 600 individuals secure their freedom, significantly alleviating the congestion plaguing these facilities. With this project, we effectively address the key issues of inaccessibility and unaffordability that hinder victims of human rights abuses from seeking legal assistance. Our project bridges the gap between impoverished individuals and quality legal representation, empowering them with the means to assert their rights and seek justice.
