Legal assistant, French and Dioula
The law, in your language.
AmaSariya makes the law accessible to women in Burkina Faso, on their phone, for free. In writing and by voice, in French and in Dioula. A woman who does not know her rights cannot defend them.
The problem
The law exists. Access to it does not.
In Burkina Faso, millions of women live alongside rights they do not know, written in a language they do not master, defended by lawyers they cannot reach. The project does not fill a legal gap, but a gap in access.

The solution
A legal assistant, built for them
Four principles, with no compromise on reliability.
Bilingual
French and Dioula. The language of everyday life, not only that of official texts.
Voice
By voice as well as in writing. Accessible even without being able to read or write.
Sourced
Every answer cites the exact article of law. Zero hallucination, everything is verifiable.
Free
Accessible to all, without condition. The law is not a privilege.
PHOTO: woman, natural light, gaze turned to the future. Eye-level framing, never miserabilist.
"Sariya" means "justice" in Dioula.
We speak of fundamental rights, not charity. Of justice made accessible, with dignity.
