Legal-education clinic [Planned] · How our clinics work
[Planned] · date to be confirmed
A free legal-education clinic, led by women jurists.
This page describes how one of our typical clinics works — what happens, who it is for, and what to expect. Clinics are free, confidential and non-judgmental, in the languages women actually speak. We are planning an upcoming session in Kinshasa; the exact date and venue are still to be confirmed.
Maturity: Pilot — our legal-education clinics run in a limited way, growing by locality.
An afternoon set aside for your questions.
A clinic is a few hours dedicated to free legal education on family matters — marriage, parental authority, separation, inheritance and widows’ rights. Women jurists from Muasi Telema welcome you, listen, and explain your rights and options in plain language. You can come with a specific question, or simply to understand where you stand. Nothing is recorded against you, and you are never judged for asking.
Free
No payment, ever
Confidential
What you share stays private
Non-judgmental
Every question is welcome
A typical clinic, step by step.
No two sessions are identical, but most follow a similar shape. This is the format — not a fixed timetable for any one event.
-
A warm welcome
You are greeted, settled, and told plainly what the clinic can and cannot do — legal education and orientation, not court representation.
-
A private conversation
A woman jurist hears your situation one to one, explains the relevant law in plain language, and helps you weigh your options.
-
A clear next step
Where helpful, we point you toward mediation, further support, or — when a situation needs a lawyer or urgent protection — we say so plainly and help you find the right path.
-
Shared questions
When the group is comfortable, we close with open questions on family law, so everyone leaves knowing a little more than they arrived with.
Any woman who wants to understand her rights — and the paralegals, social workers and community leaders who walk alongside them. You do not need to know any law, or any French, to take part.
In your language, at your pace
Removing reasons not to come.
For each session we work to make taking part as easy as possible. These are the things we aim to arrange — confirmed for each clinic when its date and venue are set, not a guaranteed checklist for a fixed event.
Step-free access wherever we can find it A quiet, supervised space for children
Interpretation in the languages women speak Always free — no payment of any kind
We are planning a clinic in Kinshasa.
The date and venue are still being confirmed. If you would like to take part, or you support a woman who would, tell us — we will keep you posted and help you find the right kind of help in the meantime. There is no form to fill in and nothing to pay.
