Free legal aid

Of the over 4 lakh prisoners in Indian jails, nearly 2.9 lakh pre-trial detainees and undertrials have been languishing for years as they await justice. But their voices are now being heard, thanks to these people.

The Maternity Benefit Act passed in 1961, protects the right to employment of these women during the time of their maternity and entitles them a ‘maternity benefit.’

Access to justice will remain an illusion if it is not made available at affordable prices.
