National Network for the Access to Justice

The National Network for the Access to Justice is a participatory body created in 2002 that consists of multiple public agencies and services, municipalities, universities, student and community social organizations, foundations and non-governmental organizations. All of them are associated and work collaboratively on projects of local and / or regional impact which translate the conceptual approach of restorative justice into concrete social practices. At the national level, the driving force of the Network is the alliance between the Forja NGO and the Ministry of Justice, through its Legal Assistance Department. Shaped in 2005, the initiative has a highly innovative character of public and local management, deepening the exercise of citizenry in the transfer of power to the people. One of its main areas of work has been the formation of micro-networks or collaborative partnerships between stakeholders of the Network to extend the coverage and quality of the services for the access to justice.
