Barangay Justice and Peace Program
Access to Justice for Families and Communities
Volunteer community members are prepared to function as Barangay Justice Advocates (BJAs) with training in four areas of justice delivery namely: The Katarungang Pambarangay (KP) Law, Paralegal Course (Bill of Rights, Family Laws, Penal/Remedial Laws), Basic Counseling and Mediation Skills, Alternative Modes of Dispute Resolution and the Shari’a Law. After training, the BJAs perform three major functions:
a) facilitate actual dispute resolution for disputants;
b) assist parties in looking for options to resolve their dispute, whether by referral to the legal system or allied government services; and
c) assist in enhancing community awareness on the Katarungang Pambarangay (KP) and appropriate justice delivery system.
The Barangay Justice Advocate (BJA) is a citizen-volunteer duly selected by the community and trained alongside other KP implementers to assist parties involved in disputes. They promote access to justice by providing assistance in alternative modes of conflict resolution, peace counseling and other basic justice-related services. The BJA helps promote KP as an integral part of barangay governance.
