*Legal aid workers talk with influential people in the community at the Conference on Legal Aid Activities*

The communication activities received a positive response and appreciation from the people. Through the Conference, people better understood the right to access free legal services, a humane policy, demonstrating the Party and State's concern for policy beneficiaries and vulnerable groups in society. This contributed to raising legal awareness, helping people know how to protect their own legitimate rights and interests, limit disputes and complaints, and maintain security and order in the locality.

Maintaining and promoting legal communication activities on legal aid is one of the key tasks of the Ca Mau Provincial State Legal Aid Center. Through communication conferences, the Center not only helps people access legal information easily, but also creates conditions for them to fully exercise their right to legal aid as prescribed. This is a practical step, enhancing access to justice for everyone, while contributing to building a community of people who understand the law, live and work according to the Constitution and the law.
