Legal Aid & Family Counseling Centre
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Women in rural areas face atrocities and suffer a lot more because of their ignorance about legal provisions. For this a Legal Aid and Family Counseling Centre has been set up at our Centre (Dholera) and provides legal aid and counseling. The legal consultants come regularly on 25th of every month. Many people come to the meeting with various issues like domestic violence against women, human rights violation, marital discord, bride burning, torture, illegal possession of land, land ownership issues like cases of inheritance, non registration of legally owned land, non issuing of ownership right in spite of cultivating the land for many years etc. The B-SAG members guide and help to solve the problems by counseling or if needed by legal actions with assistance from two legal consultants (advocates) who guide the complainant to take legal action.

A library containing books, booklets, related to various laws has been set up at the centre which has been quite useful to local youth and activists. Moreover, brochures containing information regarding the laws related to police station have been printed. These also have proved fairly useful.
