Lawyers Alert

Lawyers Alert is a Nigeria-based non-profit organization that specializes in advancing human rights and access to justice for women and other vulnerable groups. The organization operates across six African countries and focuses on legal literacy, monitoring and documenting rights violations, free legal services, and advocacy to strengthen legal frameworks and accountability.

In its client service approach, Lawyers Alert emphasizes accessible justice through free legal assistance, targeted support for women and vulnerable populations, and capacity building for communities and state actors. The organization also maintains referral networks and collaborates with government and civil society partners to ensure victims obtain timely remedies and information about their rights.

With a focus on SRHR, gender-based violence, and health rights, Lawyers Alert is known for evidence-based reporting, policy advocacy, and programs that promote the rule of law and gender equality. The organization uses legal literacy campaigns and documentation of human rights violations as a foundation for reform and improved protections for those most at risk.
