Assistência jurídica em tempos da covid-19 na cidade de Maputo

Access to justice in Mozambique is a fundamental right enshrined in the Constitution. Which is exercised through two institutions whose purpose is to provide legal assistance to citizens. The Government created a public institution, whose purpose is to provide legal assistance to people in need, this body is called the Institute of Legal Assistance and Sponsorship (IPAJ). In 2020 and 2021, Mozambique was hit by a pandemic called COVID19. This compromised the functioning of the aforementioned body and made it necessary to readapt according to the characteristics of the aforementioned pandemic. And not only that, certain workers from some private companies had their employment contracts terminated for just cause by the Employer.
