Inequalities between men and women, rural and urban, young and old, rich and poor keep increasing in Guinea-Bissau. These substantial disparities have been further deepened by the COVID-19 pandemic and more recently by the dire outcomes of the cashew nut harvest campaign. Altogether this will increase the already substantial fringes of the population that live under the poverty line - disadvantaged individuals, households or groups - and will \"open doors\" to exploitation and rights being violated. Thus, poverty is persistently high, with an estimated 70% of the population (50% women) living below the poverty line, and a Human Development Index ranking Guinea Bissau 175 out of 189 countries. The Action plays a decisive role in promoting human rights to overcome inequalities through supporting sensitization actions and strengthening the population's access to justice - especially those with vulnerabilities through the provision of pro-bono legal advice, mediation services, legal representation and defence. It also promotes the reduction of inequalities by supporting mobile justice initiatives, such as the UNDP's concept of \"justice caravan\"/justice proximity services to more isolated regions, which will bring numerous benefits to access to justice. Taking legal services and resources on the road, will help overcoming the geographical divides that prevent marginalized communities from accessing the justice system to solve their daily lives' conflicts."}, {"bbox": [97, 681, 1135, 785], "category": "Text", "text": "The role played by civil society organizations in the third component of the Action will also help simplifying and conveying crucial legal and practical information to the population during advocacy sessions, as well as ensuring the satisfaction level of beneficiaries with the services provided, which will help overcoming structural inequalities in Guinea-Bissau."}, {"bbox": [97, 794, 211, 820], "category": "Section-header", "text": "## Democracy"}, {"bbox": [97, 832, 1135, 1018], "category": "Text", "text": "This Action will strengthen the justice and security systems through contributing to the clarification/ simplification/ revision of roles, functions, responsibilities, procedures and reporting – making them more transparent.

It is mindful that conflicts are widespread in the country (over property/land, cattle, violence in general and against women and girls in particular), as well as effects of organized crime. Furthermore, it has been conveyed through interviews with national stakeholders that there have been signs of radicalization and extremism in the country. Despite the lack of factual evidence, perceptions have shown that that phenomenon is not only present in Bissau, but mainly in isolated communities with youths that are returning from trips abroad mainly in Islamic countries in Northern Africa and the Middle East. Reportedly, this has been creating unease and threats to peace and security in Guinea-Bissau. Moreover, for the time being Guinea-Bissau does not seem to have legal frameworks, strategies or plans to work on the prevention of violent extremism and countering terrorism, institutional capacity to develop appropriate tools to tackle it (mapping for entities supporting foreign trips, data on individuals that go abroad and return, and monitoring their reintegration in communities, for this sensitive information, high data protection standards will have to be ensured), or even effective presence at country level or strong communication and partnership with other forces to gather the intelligence.
