BCM is an innovative community based informal Justice Model that was developed as an alternative justice mechanism to enhance access to justice for the poor and most vulnerable communities.
The Initiative is spearheaded by World Voices Uganda with support from Other Partner Organizations
ABOUT
Bataka Courts are more ac¬cessible to poor and disadvan¬taged people. The model provides quick, cheap and culturally relevant remedies since the court sessions are close to the homes of the people who fall within their ju¬risdiction.
Besides Justice Service being free and affordable, the problem is viewed as relating to the whole community as a group in which decisions are based on a process of participation of everyone in the com¬munity present at the court session.
Under Bataka Court Model the enforcement of decisions and judgments are immediate and secured through social cohesion and manageable social sanctions.
