Since the emergence of Bangladesh as a new
nation, significant gap in the rule of law and the
human rights situation have been apparent.
Seeking justice become particularly difficult for
the vast majority of poor and disadvantage
people especially women. A small group of
dedicated volunteers & social workers, initially
working in Madaripur, took initiative to offer free
legal assistance to the formal judicial systems.
Their efforts proved successful that inspired the
group to formally establish the Madaripur Legal
Aid Association (MLAA) in March 1978.
