Dear Jami
I remember when I was working for FINCA, they had part of their mission focus as advancing women interests. I don't know whether that changed along the way.

Dear Group,
You have all been silent for awhile,
thus I thought I'd share this very interesting
publication by Bankable Frontiers &
Omidyar: well done group.
https://www.omidyar.com/sites/default/files/file_archive/Pdfs/16-07-01_A_Buck_Short_Report_Digital_FINAL.pdf
I
am curious to know which financial organizations are
currently directing their energies to addressing the gender
specific legal and cultural challenges raised in the
article?
Years ago, I met a Nigerian
women's rights advocate who was providing legal aid to
women clients due to the domestic violence as well as
representing widows in claims against thieving in laws (when
the husband died, the vultures came to steal homes,
furniture and even kids). When the widows would not show
up in court due to having a sick child, they were unable to
miss work, or no money to pay transport, this advocate would
give them micro loans which usually became
grants.
I always
thought this advocate was ahead of her time, but in the end,
her vision turned out to not be sustainable -- but as the
years pass, I continue to believe that legal aid and
advocacy is an essential part of the development
package.
Or, there
will continue to only be justice for those who can afford
it. I read once that the opposite of poverty is not
wealth; it is access to justice. I don't remember the
author.
Hope all in
the group are well and enjoying the week.
Best regards,
Jami Solli
