LEGAL AID
Recognising that deep lines of discrimination run through
socio-economic systems, within India and globally, is the
starting point if there is to be any improvement in the
country. The legal system is no exception. There is a need
to identify and amend the inequities still present in our laws and
legal systems.
For us, ‘justice is blind’ means that every person,
irrespective of class, sexual identity, caste, religious belief,
nationality or ethnicity, language, or culture, deserves equal
access to and equitable consideration from the justice system.
We provide quality legal representation to clients who are
unable to afford legal assistance by ensuring equality before the
law, the right to counsel and the right to a fair trial. We also help
organise legal awareness workshops and sessions for civil
society members working on ground to equip them in their
efforts.
