LAW ON THE MARGINS / Ensuring access to justice for marginalised people
Access to justice is embedded in the fundamental rights guaranteed by our Constitution. According to our Constitution, every citizen has a right to be treated equally under the law (Article 27) and possesses an inalienable right to legal protection (Article 31). However, justice remains out of reach for millions of underprivileged people living below the poverty line, due to unfortunate circumstances. Legal aid aims to address this disparity, but its effectiveness continues to be an issue of both hope and frustration.
