Sopore May 06 (KNS) In a bid to promote access to justice and legal empowerment in the region, Sopore Law College today organized a legal awareness programme under the initiative “Establishment, Revival and Operation of Legal Aid Clinics in Jammu and Kashmir”, in collaboration with the University of Kashmir. The event took place at Saloosa Kreeri and aimed to provide free legal awareness and information to marginalized communities in the area.
The programme included interactive sessions on various legal issues, rights awareness, and the importance of legal literacy. Legal experts and students from Sopore Law College, conducted lectures to educate community members about their legal rights and responsibilities.
Community members were encouraged to seek legal assistance from the newly established legal aid clinics in the region, which provide free or low-cost legal services to those in need. The clinics serve as a crucial resource for individuals who cannot afford legal representation, offering support and guidance in navigating the justice system.
Participants at the legal awareness programme expressed their gratitude for the initiative, noting the importance of legal literacy in understanding and asserting their rights. They emphasized the need for more such programmes to be organized regularly to ensure that marginalized communities have access to legal support and information.
The collaboration between Sopore Law College and the University of Kashmir in organizing this legal awareness programme highlights the commitment to promoting access to justice and legal empowerment in Jammu and Kashmir. By working together to establish and sustain legal aid clinics, stakeholders in the region can help to address systemic inequalities and empower individuals to secure their rights and advocate for justice.
Overall, the legal awareness programme at Saloosa Kreeri serves as a stepping stone towards creating a more just and equitable society, where all individuals have access to legal support and the tools they need to protect their rights.(KNS)
