Description
Story behind this
initiative
In Bangladesh, many vulnerable groups, including women, children, and marginalized communities, face systemic human rights violations. Access to legal services is often limited, leaving these individuals without the support they need to protect their rights and seek justice.
Jonoshakti’s Human Rights and Legal Aid Services initiative is dedicated to providing free legal assistance to those who need it most. We work to ensure that every individual, regardless of their background or economic status, has access to justice and the opportunity to defend their rights.
Our approach combines legal aid with human rights education, empowering communities to stand up against injustice. By addressing both the immediate legal needs and the underlying social issues, Jonoshakti is helping to build a more just and equitable society.
Brief Summary
Jonoshakti stands up for the most vulnerable by providing legal aid services and advocating for human rights. We focus on protecting the rights of marginalized communities, including women, children, and the economically disadvantaged.
Why it's important
Human rights violations continue to affect many in Bangladesh, particularly in rural and disadvantaged communities. A report by Prothom Alo (2021) highlights that nearly 50% of women have experienced some form of domestic violence, with many lacking access to legal protection or support. Legal aid services are often out of reach for the poorest members of society, leaving them vulnerable to exploitation.
Why it needs attention
Human rights are fundamental to a just and equitable society. Jonoshakti is dedicated to providing free legal aid and advocating for the protection of vulnerable individuals. Through our legal services, we aim to empower communities by ensuring they have the knowledge and support to defend their rights.
