Law Awareness:

PRATEEKSHA with the help of Judiciary Deptt BDO,Nuapada, CGM, SDJM, Sub Judge and senior advocates participated as resource person and organized the programme in silda under Dummerpani GP. Without the basic knowledge of the laws and the legal system, women cannot protect themselves or others in the community. Our efforts to educate women all across the country provide the critical mass the strength to oppose injustices.

The Legal Education programme primarily targets women at the village level to increase legal awareness, improve understanding of the judiciary system and ultimately influence behavioural change. Focusing on laws, legal systems and methods for seeking help, PRATEEKSHA is for many women their first exposure to the concept of legal and human rights. The Camp further raises awareness about legal rights and seeks to educate village courts of existing laws.

In 2007 we began the Legal Aid Programme in order to provide legal support and make the governmental courts accessible to the targeted individuals. Over the past ten years, the Legal Aid Programme has grown to include the Alternative Dispute Resolution Programme, expanded legal offices and counsels, gender awareness training, and village-based law implementation committees. The focus has thus shifted from education to empowered action to improve legal legislation and the judicial system. Using a vast network of people, programmes and other NGOs, we continue to provide holistic legal support to women around the-country.
