The Legal Awareness and Rights Protection Initiative (LARPI) is a Ugandan-based organization dedicated to advancing legal empowerment and protecting human rights, particularly for marginalized and vulnerable populations. Its core mission is to bridge the gap between individuals and the justice system by providing legal education, defending human rights, and ensuring access to justice for those who are often excluded from legal protection.

LARPI focuses on raising awareness about legal rights through comprehensive legal education programs, ensuring that communities are informed about their rights and the mechanisms available to protect them. This includes conducting workshops, seminars, and public campaigns that target underrepresented groups such as women, children, and those living in poverty. By fostering legal literacy, LARPI empowers individuals to navigate the legal system and take action when their rights are violated.

In addition to education, LARPI provides pro bono legal services, assisting individuals who cannot afford legal representation. The organization addresses various human rights issues, including unlawful detention, discrimination, gender-based violence, and land rights disputes. LARPI works to ensure that these individuals receive fair treatment under the law and advocates on their behalf in court and other legal forums.

LARPI also engages in policy advocacy, working to influence legislative and policy reforms that strengthen human rights protections in Nigeria. The organization collaborates with local and international partners to push for systemic changes that improve access to justice and promote human dignity.

Through its initiatives, LARPI seeks to create a more just society where every individual, regardless of social or economic status, can exercise their rights and access justice. Its programs are tailored to empower communities, promote human rights, and address legal barriers.
