The Legal Assistance Centre's (LAC's) Gender Research & Advocacy Project (GR&AP) team recently shared an illustrated overview of their 2021 activities, along with an updated GR&AP Publications Catalogue.

- Regular ProBono newspaper columns researched and written for publication in The Namibian (16 columns published, half drafted by GR&AP and half drafted by LAC colleagues and edited by GR&AP)
