The CONSULTANT legal marketplace continues to provide free legal advice to the population of the Kyiv region as part of its volunteer activities. For this purpose, 26 boards with special QR codes are placed on the territory of the region.
CONSULTANT is the leading online legal service of Ukraine. Its mobile application is used by more than 11.5 thousand citizens, and more than 100 consultations are provided daily (https://consultant.net.ua/statti).
One of the biggest problems in the field of protection of the rights and interests of Ukrainians remains the low level of legal awareness among the population. In the conditions of war, the issue of access to legal information became particularly acute, especially for internally displaced persons, whose rights are often violated. The most common problems are traveling abroad, receiving social benefits, compensation for damaged property, restoring documents, etc.
The concept of the CONSULTANT project is to provide free access to legal consultations and sample documents for the most vulnerable segments of the population through the legal marketplace. This category of citizens will be able to receive an online consultation, order the necessary legal service to solve their problem and monitor its implementation through a mobile application.
Implementation of the project will help to solve the problem of legal ignorance of Ukrainians, ensure compliance with their rights and freedoms, protect against violations by authorities and other organizations. Internally displaced persons will have the opportunity to defend their legitimate interests. The population will become more knowledgeable about the law and will know where to go for legal help.
"Thanks to the support of patrons, partners and lawyers, we managed to spread our legal volunteer initiative," says Andrii Anatoliyovych Prykhodko, lawyer, Doctor of Law, founder of CONSULTANT. - Now residents of Kyiv region will be able to receive up to 3 high-quality professional consultations in the CONSULTANT mobile application for free at the expense of patrons and partners. This is our contribution to the victory and support of Ukrainians!"
Conclusion
The restoration of Ukraine is based on the principles of the rule of law, humanism and the protection of citizens' rights. Therefore, the CONSULTANT project will contribute to strengthening these foundations, improving the legal component of state reconstruction. Special attention is paid to the protection of the interests of the least protected group - internally displaced persons, who currently number more than 6 million.
