There is often a lack of governmental resources allocated to the protection of pretrial detainees, as well as a lack of awareness of the problem. Voice For Justice is an online platform that aims to address this lack of awareness as well as harness the potential of civil society and provide aid and assistance to detainees. The platform has five primary functions: (1) Provider of information on legal rights. (2) Law firm matching system. (3) Communication platform. (4) Database provider.
