The Ethiopian Women Lawyers Association (EWLA) stands as a beacon of hope for women in Ethiopia, advocating for their rights and empowering them to claim their rightful place in society. Founded in 1996, EWLA has a clear vision: a country where women and men stand as equals. Their mission is unwavering to champion the economic, political, social, and legal rights of Ethiopian women, ensuring they receive the full protection guaranteed under the Constitution and international human rights conventions.

EWLA's work is driven by three core programs, each a powerful tool in their fight for equality:

• Free Legal Aid: At the heart of EWLA's efforts lies free legal aid for women and girls, particularly those facing the trauma of gender-based violence. This vital service provides legal advice, court representation, and even emergency funds for transportation and related costs, ensuring that financial hardship doesn't stand in the way of justice. Over 250,000 women and 500,000 children have benefited from this program, a testament to its impact in bridging the gap to justice.
• Public Education and Capacity Building: EWLA understands that lasting change requires more than legal battles. Through public education and capacity building initiatives, they empower women with knowledge and skills to navigate the legal system, claim their rights, and contribute meaningfully to society. This program fosters awareness and builds a generation of women equipped to stand tall and advocate for themselves and their communities.
• Research and Law Reform Advocacy: EWLA doesn't shy away from tackling the bigger picture. Through research and advocacy efforts, they push for legal reforms that address systemic inequalities and create a more just society for all. Their dedication to influencing policy changes ensures that the fight for women's rights extends beyond individual cases, paving the way for a brighter future for generations to come.

The Ethiopian Women Lawyers Association is more than just an organization; it's a movement for equality. Their unwavering commitment, comprehensive programs, and dedication to empowering women have made them a force for good in Ethiopia. As they continue their fight for justice, one can't help but be inspired by the hope and progress they bring to the lives of countless Ethiopian women and girls.
