We are proud to have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Supreme Court of Pakistan at the inauguration of the Supreme Court Court-Annexed Mediation Centre (SC-CAMC): a state-of-the-art facility established with support from the European Union and UNDP to bring mediation services directly to litigants.

Under this partnership, LAS will manage Supreme Court-referred cases, develop case-management systems and SOPs, train 24 SC officials as IMI-accredited mediators through MICADR, and hand over a fully operational Centre to the Supreme Court.

We are grateful to the Supreme Court of Pakistan for entrusting LAS with this flagship initiative and committed to making it a success.

Watch as a mother who had lost all hope speak about the moment her daughter came home. When a child is coerced into marriage, the system often feels stacked against those searching. The doors close. The answers don't come. Hope runs out.

But it doesn't have to end there. We exist because families in crisis deserve more than sympathy they deserve advocates who will fight when they no longer can.

This mother's testimony is proof that the law, when properly wielded, can restore what was taken.
Listen to her story. This is what justice sounds like to a family that refused to give up.

Rights on paper don't protect people. Access does. This World Humanitarian Day, we're asking: what good is a right you can't claim?

Forced marriage is not inevitable. When a 15-year-old was taken by a neighbor, her mother exhausted every option, but she didn't exhaust the law. Through determined advocacy and legal intervention, we recovered this child and brought the accused to justice.
Every case that reaches our doors has already survived rejection, dismissal, and despair. What changes the outcome is refusing to accept that "nothing can be done." The legal system has tools. Families need advocates who know how to use them.
If you or someone you know is facing child marriage, coercion, or abduction: reach out. We meet you wherever you are. Recovery is possible.

Freedom. Justice. Equality. 🇵🇰
This Independence Day, let’s stand for justice for all.

14/08/2026

We acknowledge the struggles happening in Pakistan today: the injustices, the barriers, the long road ahead.

And yet, we gathered to celebrate azadi. Because we cannot forget what our forefathers fought for, the sacrifices they made so we could have the freedoms we do. This celebration is a nod to them, and a reminder of what we're called to protect.

Their vision was a Pakistan where everyone could live with dignity and justice. That vision is incomplete. Our work at LAS is to finish or at least bring it closer to what they started, to translate the promise of azadi into lived reality for people who still can't access justice, who face discrimination, who are told their freedom has limits. We honor our forefathers by continuing their struggle.

We celebrate azadi not because we've achieved it, but because we're committed to it.

We asked around and as the clips show, azadi means something different to everyone—freedom from fear for some, economic independence for others, the right to choose your own path. There's no single answer because freedom looks different depending on who you are and what you've faced.
For us at LAS, azadi is about equal access to justice and legal protection. It's ensuring that the law works for everyone—that you can seek redress when your rights are violated, that you have a voice in the courtroom, that discrimination isn't just condemned, it's prosecuted. It's the freedom to live without fear because the system exists to protect you, not silence you.
That's what we're fighting for. Because everyone deserves justice on equal terms. Every single person.

Living the true spirit of International Youth Day, we are beyond proud to welcome our founding cohort of Young Safeer-e-Insaf Ambassadors.

This first-ever batch of young leaders is taking on something vital alongside the Legal Aid Society—closing the gap between everyday Pakistanis and the rights they hold. They are turning abstract laws into household awareness, making sure no family feels alone when standing up for what is fair.

To our founding Safeers: You are the trailbreakers. Thank you for stepping up, choosing impact, and showing what youth leadership really looks like.

Welcome aboard. Let's make history.

What if the law isn't failing people... it’s just too far from them?
For millions across Pakistan, fundamental rights exist on paper, but lack of access keeps them out of reach. Young Safeer-e-Insaf, an initiative by the Legal Aid Society (LAS) is changing this reality.
What impact are we creating?
We are making legal awareness and support a household staple across Pakistan, ensuring no family feels helpless when facing injustice.

Gain real-world leadership experience and build an influential network.
Receive hands-on mentorship from legal and social sector experts.
Create a tangible, lasting social impact in your community.
Build a powerful profile that sets you apart as a community leader.
