OUR PROGRAMMES
Most people in Bangladesh have limited access to either the formal or the informal justice system. The worst affected by this are women, children and the marginalised.
BLAST seeks to reach out to this section of society with the aim of raising their awareness and understanding of available rights, remedies and services, and ensuring greater responsiveness to their needs from within the justice system.
Legal Aid
Legal Aid
BLAST’s core activities focus on legal aid – including advice, referral, mediation, litigation and community awareness — for the poor and marginalised.
Public Interest Litigation (PIL)
Public Interest Litigation (PIL)
Alongside individual legal aid, BLAST undertakes strategic litigation, or public interest litigation, as a key part of its advocacy for law and policy reforms to ensure effective legal protection of rights.
