Path to Legal Literacy: Meeting with Police Officers and Lawyers

On November 15, 2025, first-year students of group 106 at Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, under the guidance of Erkenaz Bazartaykyzy, participated in an educational event within the framework of the UN Sustainable Development Goal 16 — “Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions.” The event was held at the District Department of Internal Affairs and a law firm. 👮‍♀️⚖️

This activity gave students a unique opportunity to observe the work of the law enforcement system and gain a deeper understanding of professionals’ roles in protecting citizens’ rights.

Police officers provided detailed explanations of their work, including maintaining public order, preventing crimes, ensuring community safety, and safeguarding citizens’ rights and freedoms. 👮‍♂️
Students explored the work of the duty unit, investigative and preventive departments, and the operational management system. Each unit plays a crucial role in maintaining societal order and security.

The next part of the program took place at a law firm. Lawyers explained their responsibilities, methods of legal protection for citizens, and the role of a lawyer in judicial proceedings. ⚖️📘
These meetings allowed students to better understand the importance of legal culture and professional work in the field of law. The aspect of human rights protection and ensuring justice made a particularly strong impression.

During the event, students had the opportunity to ask questions and learn about the practical aspects of law enforcement and legal practice. This experience expanded their legal awareness and strengthened their respect for the law. 💡

Such activities contribute significantly to students’ legal literacy and the development of civic responsibility. Police officers and lawyers are essential pillars of justice and public safety. 🤝
