EmpowerLine Malawi
EmpowerLine Malawi
EmpowerLine Malawi is a mobile application designed to empower women in Malawi by providing accessible, simplified legal information to enhance access to gender justice. The app addresses the critical need for clear and relevant legal resources for women, especially those who have experienced violence or face legal challenges related to family law, property rights, workplace rights, and more. As a comprehensive resource hub, the platform supports users in understanding their legal rights, accessing emergency contacts, and utilising a chatbot for navigation and legal guidance, with a specific emphasis on improving access to gender justice.
Programmes

Through legal empowerment, people can become more engaged with the laws and processes they are affected by, for example, promoting gender equality and protecting social justice resulting in improved accountability, transparency, and responsiveness in the legal framework.
Strategic Partnerships
Collaborating with other organisations and individuals to advocate for systematic change in public law matters, including issues that affect the disadvantaged and the environment.
Research, Writing & Advocacy
Legal research, writing and advocacy from a south global perspective, critically exploring the tensions between the law and the lived realities of marginalised and vulnerable populations, particularly women and those marginalised due to their gender and or sexual orientation.
