"Justice4Her is a cross-sector, multi-stakeholder project of RNW Media and Qianqian Law Firm that seeks to strengthen the rule of law and reduce gender-based violence (GBV) towards women migrant workers in China. The project launched in 2016 and targets women migrant workers in Beijing, Shanghai and ... Guangdong Province and was scaled further with co-funding from the European Commission in 2018. Justice4Her provides legal support through a digital interactive platform and disseminates information on GBV to millions through online channels (social media platforms, blogs, email, WeChat groups) and integrates this online work with offline activities. The project has increased mainstream media coverage in China of how GBV affects young women migrants and carried out viral online campaigns to raise public awareness and to challenge tolerance and acceptance of GBV. While advocating for the improvement of anti-domestic violence laws in China, Justice4Her provides pro bono legal aid to victims of GBV in partnership with Beijing Qianqian law firm, a local law firm, both in the form of consultations via mail and support in bringing their cases to court and representing them. The project has also trained pro bono lawyers to better represent victims, media professionals to encourage more gender sensitive reporting on cases of GBV and NGOs on how conduct successful anti-GBV media campaigns and effectively counter negative stereotypes and shift public discourse from a victim blaming narrative to a survivor narrative."

"In 2002, the Embassy of Sweden (EoS) and the School of Law (SoL) entered into an agreement which resulted into the School of Law Book Project (SoLBP). The objectives of the Project included; improving the teaching environment by ensuring that basic materials for each course were available, revampin ... g research among the staff, contributing to staff retention and recruitment, and, improving the management and administrative capacity of the SoL. The Project that commenced in December of 2002 was intended to run for a year but was extended twice ending in March of 2006 [...] It was concluded that the Project did achieve its goal of strengthening the teaching and learning environment in the SoL at the University of Zambia (UNZA). Having increased the levels of research activities among the lecturers chosen as authors of the books published under the Project, the resultant books were of great use to the lecturers, tutors and students in the SoL as they were; readily available, affordable to the students, up-to-date and most importantly made reference to Zambian Statutes and Case Law. This was the opposite of the imported books that were hard to come by, expensive and made no reference to Zambian Statutes and Case Law. The UNZA benefitted from the SoLBP in that it re-established itself as not only a training institution but also as a research institution capable of producing its own textbooks. The UNZA rose above other training institutions offering legal training as the other institutions incorporated the books into their curricular. These institutions include: the Zambia Institute of Advanced Legal Education (ZIALE), the National Institute of Public Administration (NIPA), the Zambia Open University (ZOU) and the Cavendish University of Zambia (CUZ). The books have also found reference relevance among practising lawyers and Judges of the High Court of Zambia. However, the evaluation found that the project funds had been mismanaged, allegedly by the project staff and there was a court case brought against them by the SoL. This was attributed to the weak monitoring systems by the SoL in the third year of project implementation as the first two years have proved to have had these systems in place as indicated by proper funds management."
