Paving a new road out for Salima
Growing up amidst abuse can be a hard thing to escape. Poet and aspiring computer programmer Salima didn’t see many options in her future. Then a mobile legal aid bus arrived in her Kyrgyzstan village, and lawyer Asel guided her towards new opportunities. Follow their journey together.
The Bus of Solidarity brings city lawyers and legal aid to remote outposts, delivering justice on wheels. Many of its clients are women, and many have suffered abuse at home.
This initiative is part of UNDP Kyrgyzstan’s work to widen access to justice and legal empowerment in the country, supported by the Government of Finland.
