EUSMS Launches Free Women Justice & Workplace Protection Services Across East Africa
At EUSMS, we believe that empowering a woman transforms a workplace and a nation.
We’re proud to announce the official launch of our Women Justice & Workplace Protection Services, a bold new program offering free and confidential legal support to women across East Africa who have faced workplace abuse, harassment, discrimination, or unjust dismissal.
This is more than a service. It’s a movement.
A Silent Crisis – Now Confronted
Too many women in East Africa suffer in silence, facing:
– Sexual harassment or gender-based violence at work
– Discrimination related to pregnancy or motherhood
– Verbal abuse, coercion, wage theft, or illegal termination
– Biases based on appearance, marital status, or gender roles
These injustices are often normalized or ignored – leaving women vulnerable, unsupported, and silenced.
That ends now. EUSMS is stepping in to say: You have rights. And we’ll help you claim them.
What the Program Offers
Led by the EUSMS Legal Team and rooted in our mission of justice, this new initiative includes:
- Free Legal Counseling – Confidential consultations with experienced professionals
- Evidence Gathering & Case Review – Support in documentation and legal assessment
- Mediation & Representation – Tribunal and court representation where needed
- Employer Engagement – Ensuring accountability and protection through formal processes
- Litigation Support – Legal action in substantiated cases of abuse or discrimination
Available now in Kenya and expanding to Uganda, Tanzania, and the broader region.
Because silence should never be a woman’s only option.
Why This New Program Matters Now
The cost of injustice is high and it’s often paid by the most vulnerable. With women making up a large part of the informal and formal workforce in East Africa, the lack of access to justice when things go wrong is more than a legal gap, it’s a societal failure.
This new legal service isn’t an add-on. It’s a cornerstone. Every woman deserves to work with dignity, safety, and equal opportunity.
Who can reach out for our services
Women – If you’ve been mistreated or abused at work, we believe you. We’re here to listen, support, and act.
Employers – This is the time to build workplaces where women are respected and protected. We’re open to collaborating for change.

Justice Begins With a Voice
Our mission at EUSMS is clear: to equip individuals with the tools to unlock their potential – socially, economically, and legally.
With the Women Justice & Workplace Protection Services now live, we’re offering not just legal help, but hope, dignity, and power to those who’ve been denied it for too long.
