ACCESS TO JUSTICE

According to the head of the public reception center, Viktor Tarasov, legal ignorance of citizens is one of the main reasons for human rights violations; people simply do not know where to turn to protect their rights, what documents they need to submit to solve their problems.

As part of the project, a public reception center operates, which provides free legal advice to citizens, represents their interests in courts, state authorities and local governments. Explanatory work is also carried out, thematic booklets are distributed, where people can find answers to the most pressing issues of human rights problems.

Citizens who believe their rights have been violated or who have difficulties in exercising their rights may apply for free legal assistance to the public reception at the following address: Chernihiv, 14000, Gorkogo St. 57/1, tel.: (0462) 625-381
