They have become key to represent victims in legal processes and improve possibilities of access to justice. However, these organisations also have limited capacities to use international access to justice and human rights standards, as well as face challenges to ensure the sustainability of their efforts. It is important that their services include an integral support to victims, not only during judicial proceedings, but also wider, to ensure reparation, psycho-social support and empowerment."}, {"bbox": [96, 338, 1136, 767], "category": "Text", "text": "The Action therefore foresees to **strengthen strategic litigation** as a way for a deliberate and purposeful use of legal interventions **to achieve broader systemic change** beyond the immediate outcome of the individual cases it supports. This will be done by carefully selecting emblematic cases that have the potential to set legal precedents in priority themes, challenge discriminatory laws, policies and practices, and advance access to justice and human rights, contributing to truth and reparation for victims and communities. Work on such cases, to be supported in close coordination and with support of human rights legal firms, will aim to set legal precedents through landmark court decisions, with transformative effect on the interpretation and application of laws, creating a legal framework that is more favourable to the protection of human rights and access to justice. It will amplify the voices of traditionally marginalised communities and persons in situation of vulnerability, empowering them to assert their rights and challenge discriminatory practices. The Action will seek to **provide comprehensive support** in such emblematic cases, going beyond legal support only. This would also include support for psycho-social and awareness raising efforts that increase the overall capacity of victims to participate in legal proceedings. Such comprehensive strategic litigation and support will be provided in close coordination with legal practitioners, civil society organisations and affected communities, fostering networks of support, enhancing knowledge sharing, and building coalitions between civil society actors that advocate for access to justice and human rights."}, {"bbox": [96, 785, 1135, 840], "category": "Text", "text": "Identification of main stakeholders and corresponding institutional and/or organisational issues (mandates, potential roles, and capacities) to be covered by the Action:"}, {"bbox": [136, 864, 457, 892], "category": "List-item", "text": "1.
