Out of these cases 95 are corruption related cases and the rest are not related to corruption since the six clients knocked our door for help, respective counseling services have been given. Out of 104 complainants 30 of them are brought to the table by female victims. Clients might be transferred from one center to the other if the case at hand needs to do so and there was a situation where Bahir Dar’s client has been transferred to Addis Ababa and got service by Addis Ababa ALAC.
