About this program
Most of our caseload is bread-and-butter rural law: tenant farmer disputes, dower and inheritance, early-marriage interventions, and minority land cases. A staff lawyer and twelve trained paralegals from inside the villages run the work.
Where a pattern shows up across cases, we write it up as a district-level policy brief and take it to the upazila administration.
What we do
- Free legal aid clinics in eight districts
- Trained women paralegals embedded in union councils
- Policy briefs on tenancy, early marriage and minority rights
