Areas covered

Where the need is greatest

Civil law is AmaSariya's starting point. The areas below are a priority because they touch on women's daily lives and safety.

Gender-based violence

Physical, psychological, sexual and economic violence. Emergency steps: filing a complaint, medical certificate, protection order.

Family law

Marriage, divorce, child custody and maintenance payments.

Inheritance and land rights

Inheritance rules and protection of widows against dispossession.

Institutional guidance

Geolocated contacts and emergency numbers: police stations, Social Action, legal clinics, associations and NGOs.

A broader scope

Beyond the civil base, AmaSariya aims to gradually cover:

  • Arrest and detention
  • Rights of defence
  • Civil status
  • Labour law
  • Health and reproductive rights
  • Administrative law

Content validated by lawyers

Legal content is validated by partner lawyers and NGOs, not by internal hiring. A governance committee, including representatives of Burkinabe women's associations, ensures the accuracy and relevance of the answers.
