SLAPP Suits in African Jurisdiction, A Toolkit for Lawyers, Activists & Campaigners, a comprehensive, Africa-specific resource designed to help defenders, lawyers, and grassroots campaigners identify, resist, and recover from SLAPPs. The Toolkit is packed with practical guidance, legal templates, and case studies, all tailored to the unique legal landscapes of African countries. It’s a lifeline for those who find themselves facing down a hostile courtroom, often with little support and even less funding.
The rationale behind the Toolkit is as urgent as it is obvious: activists and communities are being targeted by state and corporate actors who use the law as a cudgel. The Toolkit gives them the tools to fight back, adapt strategies across jurisdictions, and build collective resilience.
