Advocacy & Campaigns
At Legal Aid Trust, we actively collaborate with District and State Legal Services Authorities in Karnataka, law colleges, local communities, and a wide range of partner organizations to identify and address legal and social issues that impact society at large.
ADVOCACY & CAMPAIGNS
Our Core Values
We advocate for inclusive, fair, and sustainable public policies, working to enhance legal awareness across all segments of the population. We believe that democratic practices must be rooted in local self-governance, and that policies should reflect the lived experiences and aspirations of diverse individuals and communities. Recognizing that no two individuals or communities face the same challenges, we offer context-specific legal interventions and campaigns. Our core values are inspired by the Constitutional ideals of:
Justice
Social, Economic, and Political
Liberty
of Thought, Expression, Belief, Faith, and Worship
Equality
of Status and Opportunity
Fraternity
assuring the Dignity of the Individual
Without these, democracy becomes vulnerable to majoritarianism, undermining its true secular and inclusive spirit. We believe that every individual, no matter how remotely located, must have equitable access to the legal system at an affordable cost. We support community-led advocacy efforts, including those led by movements, unions, and grassroots organisations, in their fight against unjust, undemocratic, or exclusionary legal frameworks. In addition to initiating independent campaigns, we help communities build collectives and movements to strengthen dialogue with the state. We raise people’s concerns at local, regional, and national levels, lobbying for legal reforms that reflect community needs and rights. Ultimately, our advocacy seeks to build a legally literate and empowered citizenry—one that can access justice, engage meaningfully with the law, and shape the legal systems that govern their lives.
