Project Access Newsletter – “Access Through Visibility – We See You”

A message from Project Lead, Dr. Timothy Affonso,

I, am pleased to introduce… a three-part newsletter series profiling individuals currently navigating the justice system.  These newsletters share the experiences of three persons, outlining the offences with which they have been charged, their interactions with the justice system, and the challenges they face in accessing justice. These accounts are grounded in real events and reflect the lived realities of people within our legal framework. They aim to illuminate systemic issues and encourage thoughtful reflection on fairness, access, and reform. To protect privacy and ensure confidentiality, all names and identifying details have been anonymised. While identities are concealed, the experiences presented remain authentic and significant, offering important insight into how justice is experienced in practice.
