The main aim of FLAG is to help women and children that normally would not seek or cannot afford legal help and advice by offering them a legal aid service. Before advice or representation is given, a means test has to be followed to make sure the client falls within the FLAG criteria for legal aid. FLAG encourages mediation as a way of resolving disputes between individuals.
The advantages of mediation, as a tool to resolve disputes are that:
It is faster
It is more cost- effective
It is more private and confidential
It is a neutral process ( mediators do not take sides )
The parties involved have more control on the out come.
FLAG's aim is to provide a service that has never before been provided, to the most vulnerable in our society, to aid them when they are at their most vulnerable.
Members of the public can approach us by coming to our offices which are located in Banjul.
