In 2025, The Youth Platform Three-Sixty (TYP), through the SIGHT Project and in partnership with the Churches Health Association of Zambia (CHAZ), with support from the Global Fund through the Expanded Church Response (ECR), successfully trained 34 young paralegals in Kazungula District. The training, facilitated by the Paralegal Alliance Network (PAN), marked an important step toward improving access to justice, legal awareness, and human rights advocacy at community level.

The young paralegals were equipped with practical skills in Gender-Based Violence (GBV) prevention and response, child protection, disability rights and inclusion, psychosocial support, case management, referral systems, and community legal awareness. Following the training, many were deployed to local health facilities to complement existing services by supporting survivors of GBV and other vulnerable individuals requiring legal and psychosocial assistance.

To strengthen community ownership, TYP engaged traditional leaders, local authorities, faith-based organizations, schools, and other stakeholders across Kazungula District to introduce the paralegals and build partnerships that would support their work. Traditional leaders, including Chief Musokotwane, Chief Mukuni, Chief Sekute, and leaders from Nyawa Chiefdom, welcomed the initiative, reaffirmed their commitment to ending GBV, and pledged their support to the young paralegals.

The initiative has strengthened community access to legal information, improved referral pathways, enhanced support for survivors of GBV and vulnerable groups, and promoted greater community participation in protecting human rights. Through this collaborative approach, TYP, CHAZ, the Global Fund, traditional leadership, and community stakeholders have empowered a new generation of young legal advocates who are serving as community champions, promoting justice, social protection, and positive change across Kazungula District.
