Legal Advocacy

As Legal Advocates we are trained to protect and support survivors of sexual abuse and their family as they become involved with the criminal and civil procedures.

We at Cece Yara work and collaborate with the various institutions, individuals, and offices (The Police, Ministries of Justice, The Child Protection Unit of the Ministry of Youth and Social Development, Domestic and Sexual Violence Response Team, Health Service Providers, Magistrates, Judges, Office of the Public Defender etc.) involved in the administration of Justice to ensure that every child gets Justice and receives adequate protection services.
