About LRF

The rationale behind the initiation of LRF was to invest in development sector which cannot resurrect the system unless the rule of law, sustainable development and good governance is strengthened and rights of people are protected. LRF not only struggles for rule of law and access to justice but is also works towards highlighting anomalies in the prevailing discriminatory legislative framework and strengthens joint actions. It consists of a pool of pro-bono lawyers, legal experts, development professionals, academia, human rights defenders, criminologists, communities’ paralegal experts, media and social activist who extend legal assistance, research, advocacy and capacity building services to the all stakeholders. Guided by the gender equity and human rights based principles and approaches, LRF is committed to create extensive awareness and commitment for a democratic, socially just, peaceful and inclusive society wherein all citizens especially children, women, persons with disabilities, minorities and transgender live with equal protection of law, self-respect and dignity.
